[Fot] Fw: Best spectator vintage event

[davehogye]

Well, the Kastner Cup has given me great reason and opportunity to visit some very special tracks and towns with significant historical appeal. I'd have to agree that Road America and Watkins Glen with the enthusiastic community surrounding the racing events are especially wonderful. 
Elkhart Lake's Osthoff hotel is the place to stay.

Amici... 

The responses to 'Best spectator vintage event' all tickle me. They remind me of that old joke that ends, "Well,...even bad sex is pretty good." Point being, pick one, you damn near can't go wrong. 

But of course some are better than others. We had run most of the major tracks in the country east of Hallet, and in fact many of the minor tracks as well. I think my top five suggestions would include the 'major annual' vintage events at Road America, Road Atlanta, Lime Rock, Mid-Ohio, and Watkins Glen. If I had to pick just one Top Choice (and having been given the guideline of bring 'an auto enthusiast vice an experienced racer'), I think I'd pick the Lime Rock Labor Day weekend because their No Sunday Racing policy allows for a second 'happening'. On Sunday they have a HUGE Concours that attracts tons and tons of exotic collector cars. I think that would sit well given the guidelines. Add to that...it is a back to back racing weekend with the big Watkins Glen event, providing an opportunity to get to both of them (and there is plenty to do in the area during the days between them.
