[Kcup] Fwd: Hobbs Named Grand Marshal for Classic Motorsports Mitty AND THEN THE KASTNER CUP

[Joe Alexander]

 KCUP Committee,

Kas was GRAND MARSHALL last year at THE MITTY.....Hobbs this year!

I am assuming that in addition to hosting the Kastner Cup with us, KAS will also be named Grand Marshall for ELVF.  Just another detail......John Houlton?

Our VSCDA Chair, Mike Korneli and his wife, Deb, are acquainted with David Hobbs. We have discussed a Kastner/Hobbs Reunion, as David Hobbs drove for Kas at INDY....and Hobbs drove a Spitfire for the Triumph Factory. Part of it will depend on HOBBS F-1 Schedule, but it would be fun to get them together as it happened with Kas and Tullius. No promises here, but it MIGHT come together.

			Historic Sportscar Racing announce David Hobbs to Be the Grand Marshal at the 2013 Classic Motorsports Mitty
		
			
			

		BRASELTON, Ga.—The Speedfest at the Classic Motorsports Mitty presented by Mazda, the oldest and largest historic car event on the East Coast, will return to Road Atlanta April 26-28, 2013. Sanctioned by the Historic Sportscar Racing Association, the 37th Mitty will bring together cars ranging from 1950s classics to current models.
		
		Road racing legend David Hobbs will serve as the grand marshal for Speedfest at the 2013 Classic Motorsports Mitty Presented by Mazda. In addition, the event will feature the Can-Am cars that so many greats, including Hobbs, drove during the ’60s and ’70s.
		
		Can-Am won’t be the only showcased group, as the event’s featured marque is MG. Event organizers have a challenge for MG and Miata owners: Who can put more cars on track during Saturday’s lunch break?
		
		About David Hobbs:
		
		David Hobbs has three decades of international racing experience at all levels, from sports car and touring car racing to Indy car, IMSA, Can-Am, NASCAR and Formula 1 competition. He has participated in the Indianapolis 500, 24 Hours of Le Mans, 12 Hours of Sebring, 24 Hours of Daytona and the Daytona 500.
		
		In 1971 Hobbs won the U.S. Formula 5000 championship for Carl Hogan by winning five of eight rounds. Twelve years later, he claimed the Trans-Am series championship.
		
		
		
Thirty years ago, driving an outdated McLaren, Hobbs finished right behind the dominating Porsche 917/10s during the series’ Road Atlanta round. At the end of the year, he was seventh in the championship behind five Porsches and a lone Lola.
		
		Hobbs’s Can-Am career included two other milestones: He drove Peter
		Bryant’s titanium Ti 22 as well as the Lola T310, the machine billed as the lowest
		and widest car to ever run the series.
		
		Since retiring from competition, he has been the American voice for Formula 1.
		Starting this year, he will anchor NBC’s coverage.
