Those who use 'Track Time' as the ruler for judging a vintage racing event's
worth need to visit www.vscda.org and check out the Tentative Schedule for
track times at the 16th Annual Blackhawk Vintage Classic. Friday (which can be
bought as a half or full day) has five sessions per group. Saturday each race
groups has two practice sessions, a qualifying session, and a Sprint Race.
The 'bug eyes' also have a 12 Lap Sprite 50th Anniversary Reunion Challenge
Series Race.
Sunday sees each race group getting a warm up session, a 'Handicapped Race,'
and a Feature Race. In addition there is a separate Formula Vee series race
and a 'Small Bore Grand Prix.'
Not many sanctioning bodies run 'Handicapped Races', because they are involve
a lot of busy work, but they've become a tradition at the Blackhawk Vintage
Classic. It involves a 'staggered start' based on your best Sprint Race lap
times. The fast cars try to catch the slower cars. I was leading last year's
handicapped race, only to run out of gas with three turns to go. Shame on me,
but running out of gas is another development of 'too much track time.'
Look it over. Blackhawk Farms is a premier club track. It has a new owner
who has made lots of improvements. Modern rest rooms, hot water, new Tech
building, and more. If you are available, this event is a very good deal.
