VINTAGE RACING EVENTS: Motor Sports History Reborn
Whether large, small, local, regional or national, vintage motor racing events attract and display examples of the most compelling racecars ever created. Nowhere else can you experience races among open wheel formula cars of the 1960s that regularly showcase actual Brabhams, Lotus’, Coopers and other classic marques that were driven by the likes of Graham Hill, Jimmy Clark and Jack Brabham in their day. In many cases, today’s vintage racing events feature the actual cars that these iconic drivers and their competitors raced each other in while conquering the racetracks and engineering limits of their eras.
Shelby Mustangs, Penske Camaros and AMC Javelins, Gurney Plymouths and other “Pony Cars” of the late ‘60s/early ‘70s blast through the turns and roar down straightaways on the same American racetracks that they banged fenders on fifty years ago. McLaren, Lola, Chapparal and other explosive Can Am cars thunder around fast bends and bankings that test the courage of their drivers today, just as they did the original drivers who pushed them to unthinkable records in racing environments that challenge the possible even today.
Vintage auto racing is an alchemy of sports racing cars, production cars, open-wheel formula cars, stock cars and spec racing cars of myriad variety that fascinate the wide ranging curiosities and differing passions of automotive enthusiasts young and old. Whether a spectator, photographer, videographer, car preparer, engine builder, crew person, track volunteer or driver, there is a place for you within the many dimensions of vintage automobile racing.
