> 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 “factory” Corvettes 60,000 spectators showed up and completely overwhelmed tiny Garnett. Full disclosure, they still won’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 you’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.

Yeah, this was a big deal race back in the day. My beloved yellow car raced t=
here several times back in the early days.... driven at the time by the grea=
t David Dooley.
I=E2=80=99d love to bring the car =E2=80=9Cback home again=E2=80=9D to the e=
vent.
This has been on my bucket list for some time now.
Thanks for the reminder.
