Hello FOT,
I want to second this Track and Event. If you pony up and join Heartland
Vintage Racing for less than $100.00 you can run in the Vintage Racing Class
without any speed restrictions. There are two actual racing classes, one for
vintage racers and one for modern race cars. The track is not wide so smaller
cars do well, often beating the big hp cars. The cars that show up are
surprising, from super impressive to super, what was that. If you check out
Lake Garnett Grand Prix Revival you will begin to get a feel for this historic
track. When Shelby showed up to contest the â??factoryâ?? Corvettes 60,000
spectators showed up and completely overwhelmed tiny Garnett. Full disclosure,
they still wonâ??t let anyone race into the sharp turn onto the dam. A chicane
of hay bales prevents that. It is a course that requires your full attention.
There is no qualifying or timing and scoring so youâ??ll have to figure out how
you are doing on your own. It is a great course for Triumphs. This year will
be the 10th anniversary of the event. Love to see everyone there.
Harvey Kinnard
