Looks like you had fun. I spent my Mitty helping some friends keep their cars on track.

Great choice of music.

Man I wish I'd checked with you guys first before I bought the HERO (non HD) last year. That Flip is about the same price.

I bought my Porsche from one of the Alfa guys.

I love Ginettas and there were at least two there. You never see them.

What kind of car is No. 275? Silvery-grey colour; it looks a lot like an MGA, but not quite, and the trunk lid has louvres for cooling (or something -- maybe just to keep it from flying off!)

Yes. 275 is a '58 MGA but with 1600 cc and 4-wheel disk (from a TwinCam). The guys who built it are father and son. Dad first raced in late 50s. Excellent guys. They live like 2 miles from the new NJ Motorsports Park, so they are real lucky.

That Ginetta blew its motor (rod) on Fri and they dropped in a new one in about 2 hours. There's three Ginettas, but the cars are all kept in one guy's barn in PA. One of the other guys commutes down from Quebec to race with us and the third guy flies in from London (it's way cheaper to race in the US, even including airfare).

The Ginetta guys were really nice! I spent most of my time oogleing the 7's (plan to start a locost build this summer).

That's a 1970 Mallock Mk XIB, a front engined Formula Ford. Driven for many years by Marc Evans, the owner of the New England Classic Car Company.

This OT1300 is a stunner! I would like to think it is as quick as it is georgeous.

The yellow car is an old-time (tyme?) Speedster.

These are usuallly built on shortened Model A Ford chassis with Model A flathead fours. This one had an overhead-valve conversion. Some of them can be really keen.....almost like a Bugatti T35. I have often thought it would be neat to build one.

For the best info on these Speedsters, ~Go Here~

That OT1300 is just a bit faster than my Spridget. I'm running 1:38s at Summit and that looked to be running 1:36 to 1:37 or so.
