It's been years since I've attended but Historic Races still have the intimate exposure to the cars, owners, and drivers...
Ok, so you had to wait in line to get a few seconds with someone like Jim Hall... Sorry for not hooking up with anyone, I was really pushed for time in the afternoon. Plus I am so out of shape walking up the hills was a challenge. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I did manage to find Pat's campsite (I think) but no one was there. If you're missing a Pilsner... Attached image(s) |

I saw most of the Chaparral collection at the Amelia Island Concours a couple of years ago. The 2E and 2C in the photo were there, along with a front engine Mk1, the 2D coupe, 2F coupe, the 2J fan car, and the 2K Indy winner. The 2H shown in the photo was not there. I've always been a Chaparral fan so it was great to see them. I was surprised how compact they all were, even the boxy 2J. They seemed to be smaller than today's LMP1 cars like the Audi R8, but there was no modern cars to compare them to so I can't be sure. If I ever get the chance I would like to visit Jim Hall's Chaparral Museum in Midland, Texas. Thanks for the photos, Neo914-6! |
