This is probably the best event at Sears Pt. for vintage car
enthusiasts and a mentioned
before you have complete access to the drivers, cars and the food/
wine tasting is part
of your entry fee.
It was more fun when I was running the Morgan. Nothing like bringing
you into the here
and now than going wheel to wheel/nose to tail with another driver
who won't do anything
silly and everyone goes home in one piece.... cars and drivers.
Cheers,
Wendell
