*FOR SALE: 1958 V.A.Y. Canada Class Special.*
*Your chance to own a piece of Canadian racing history! *One of only
three original Canada Class cars still racing. 1958/59 Canada Class
Champion with 24 class wins.
Huge file of documentation, articles, photos including race results in
1959 Vol.1 #1 Canada Track & Traffic. Photos of the car under
construction in 1958, and at the track throughout the years.
This is a car for the racer who really appreciates the ideals of Vintage
Racing i.e. it's not the fastest car around but it is competitive with
some Sprites and other small-bore cars. It's easy to drive, handles
beautifully and on a really good day (for the car and the driver) has
gone through corners One and Two at Mosport without lifting. It's a
perfect car for the Vintage Racing beginner ... it's a joy to drive --
or for someone who wants to take a step back to an earlier period of
Vintage Racing. Either way, it's distinctive looking, memorable and has
just enough quirks to remind you what building and racing Specials was
like in the late '50s
Read BS Levy's article from Vintage Motorsport (one of the attachments
I'll send) to get an idea of what it's like to drive.
The V.A.Y. has raced with VARAC since 1994 in period (1958) Canada Class
