Spent Friday at Road Atlanta for the Mitty vintage races. Weather was perfect! Couldn't stay for the weekend events, when all of the really good stuff happens, but there was still plenty of automotive eye candy. Next year I'm going to stay for the weekend.
AC/DC singer Brian Johnson's Royal. Missed meeting him this year. Got to chat last year. Nice guy.

Bunch of Corvairs. They were surprisingly fast around the track. Ralph Nader would've had a heart attack!

My favorites, Lola T-70 Spyders. Mark Donohue's Sunoco Lola wasn't there this year.

There were a bunch of Ferraris, but I only took pics of this 308 because the owner was pretty cool. The others were just too impressed with themselves. The 308 was by far the prettiest of the bunch.

Very nice! Sounds like you're having a good time. Are you solo or is your 'gear-head' wife with you?? Hate to think she missed this.
Bill L.
No, just me, since it was ~5 hours' drive. She'll go with me to the VIR, if it's not too hot. :D I need to take her with me more often. Every time I do, she comes home talking about Boxters and vintage V-8 Mustangs....
Ben
Nice pics. Someday, I have to get down to one of these things.
Thanks,
Norm
