Yeah, Dave ya just picked the wrong weekend to go to Road America!.
You should plan to be there when they run the vintage races. You can make an
absolute pest of your self in the paddock. ALL WEEKEND LONG... LOADS AND
LOADS of LBCs, FICs, SGCs, BAI, FLFCs and other WOS. Try showing up at the
Brian Redman International Challenge (formerly the Chicago Historic Races)
3rd weekend in July or the VSCDA's Vintage Fall Festival (third weekend in
September).
Oh yeah you'll see LBCs... and most likely me, and Irv Korey, the FOTs and
the Chicago mob.
