Hi!
Who saw the 5-litres at the Wisconsin track?
They must have been great to watch through
the Kettle Bottoms and Thunder Valley.

Indeed they do. From their website:"What's your favorite legendary racing car of yesteryear? The one that never fails to catch your eye... and tug at your heart. A sleek Formula 5000 Lola, perhaps? Augie Pabst's world reknown Scarab? Or maybe Denny Hulmes ground shaking McLaren Can-Am machine? Well, nostalgia buffs, take note. You'll see all that and much, much more in this years Merrill Lynch/Brian Redman Internation Challenge, the nation's largest weekend of vintage racing. Capped by a Sunday Chicago Tribune "Can-Am Thunder" event, featuring 30 of the famed Group Seven machines, this weekend includes more than 500 classic racing cars in action. It's a trip down memory lane you won't soon forget. It's July 19-23. Some guy named Phil Hill is the Grand Marshall... wasn't he in NASCAR or somethin'? Posted Image

If only I could afford six weeks in America! Maybe next year... (others say that, why not me?)
