[Fot] May Vintage Event at Road America...

[Ernest Husmann]

I was there Saturday and Sunday.  Saturday qualifying was on a damp track,
with 
all the people sliding off, some very good driving, and un-nerving a
Porsche 
driver at turn 14 on the second to the last lap; Tony was to have
been 3rd on 
the grid for the race.  Very few appeared to have any knowledge
of a "rain 
line".

However those running the event decided to massage the
race grid due to the 
number of people who didn't qualify (I think they got
something from the Porsche 
guys).  Tony started about were he finished, 8th,
behind a bunch of Porsches, a 
A-H 3000 and a Alfa or two.  


As I stated in
another response John Hagen presented himself well;  didn't hit 
any solid
objects like others did; and even made a couple passes.

Many commented that
this was the worst weather ever for this event; I would but 
the weather in
the worst three for this event,no snow flurries.  Still beat 
cutting the
grass.

In your honor I did bring some wine and cheese on Saturday.  While I
can provide 
some respectable wine and cheese I can not provide your level of
entertainment.

Anyone have a report on last week end's vintage event at Road
America?  

My grand daughter's graduation from North Dakota State prevented
me from 
being there.  It is the first one I ever missed.

The weather was
rather cool, and wet on Saturday.  Pity, as the week prior 
was actually
balmy, lots of sun and temperatures in the 70s and 80s.
