Dunno whatcha mean... perhaps you're referring to that crashfest known as
Midwest Council's Vintage Historic?

I'm usually on the grid at Blackhawk with between 25 to 40+ (maximum) cars
at Blackhawk. I've been on the grid at Road America with 70 cars.

Council guys don't need brakes... they just punt enough fenders going into a
corner to slow each other down.

My best time, with a 948 at Blackhawk, in vintage legal trim is 1:29 and
change.

I didn't post this earlier because I figured I was irritating the
other listers but:

If the track only had 6 running cars on it *cough cough* it would
certainly be much harder to have contact.

and fwiw, my car has no damage metal, but I do have pictures of your
bonnet filled with gravel :)
