Ken,
Yes, most race weekends do touring. For the Spring Vintage,
lunchtime touring is listed for Fri, Sat and Sun. Its a good 20-30
mins (as I recal), starts out slow, but as things spread out you can
run it up. No dive-bombing cars in the corners though. Of course any
4-off agricultural experience will get you kicked out, and in the
gravel usually will delay/close the session for all.
I was planning on driving the roadster up from Racine with some
friends and a '67 Caprice, maybe a '56 Chevy panel, and using the
touring as a pre-race, get a feel for it test/warm up.
Then the Blackhawk Vintage (VSCDA) weekend (Father's Day weekend),
Friday test day and Sat/Sun racing. Then the ultimate goal, racing in
the July Historics or "Kohler Historics with Brian Redmann" or
whatever they're calling it this year. (This and the June Sprints
are what the ELR&SS has been spectating for over 30 years.). Then
maybe the Fall Vintage weekend.
As car and plans get firmed up, I'll post on my website,
nonameracing.com and try to update the group. But I'll be red #3 or
33 (Bob Sharp look-alike),and any and all visitors are always
welcome. As my site says, bend an elbow, twist a wrench.
Would love to join up with some others roadsters and have a great
vintage trip up on the 20th though.
