VDCA is a wonderful new group racing in the Southeast US.
They want to have vintage cars racing in reasonable vintage
trim and are also dedicated to adequate track time and a
good time in the evening after the sessions. Their weekend
includes 2, 30 minute sessions each day and a 1 hr enduro on
Saturday at not additional entry cost. They deserve the
support of any of us that enjoy racing in something smaller
than the mega events of HSR and that want to be classed with
cars that are prepared to period specs. If any of you can
make one or more of their events, I encourage you to do so,
these are the good guys! As Alex Quattelbaum said this
weekend about himself and his other long time vintage racer
friends that are currently bankrolling the deal: "We
intended for it to be non-profit, but not quite as
non-profit as it it just now."
We just returned from Kershaw, South Carolina where the
event was woefully under subscribed but a ton of fun
anyway. For the Friends of Triumph list, we had Don Marshal
in the ex-Jack Wheeler TR4 (looking wonderful, and running
well all weekend) and Bob Wismer in his TR4, also running
well all weekend after an initial rough start with ignition
problems. There was so much track time that many of us
passed on opportunities to go out.
VDCA's next event is April 20th at VIR near Danville, VA. A
truly beautiful track.
See their website at http://www.vintagedrive.com/ for the
rest of the schedule that includes Savannah, a return visit
to Kershaw and a brand new track near Birmingham, AL.
