The track was about 30 miles South of Des Moines, IA. A comment from one of SCCA's long time members, "This appears to be an SCCA Club Race probably from '64. Sadly it is not the USRRC race from July that year that featured the factory Cobras and Chaparrals."

Comes with lots of mounts including suction cup. More like $299. Be sure you get the current one, not last year's model. Their website is very helpful. Lots of racing and extreme video there. Enjoy!

Due to some attention from the SCCA National Competition Board the 2011 General Competition Rules (GCR) contains new language related to running an SCCA vintage event and vintage car preparation. If you are interested in running in Oregon Region9s Vintage Group or in preparing a vintage car, I suggest you check out Section 3.1.9 of the 2011 GCR 3.1.9 Vintage/Historic races may be included on SCCA programs under the following conditions: Vintage/Historic Races A. The Vintage/Historic segment is provided for in the sanction and Supplemental Regulations. B. Each driver is an SCCA member holding an SCCA National, Regional, Vintage license or an SCCA Novice Permit as provided in App C.2.7.D. and F., or an SCCA approved license. The following organizations9 licenses are currently approved by SCCA for competition in Vintage/Historic events: 1. Classic Sports Racing Group (CSRG) 2. Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) 3. Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts (SOVREN) 4. Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) 5. Vintage Auto Racing Association (VARA) 6. Vintage Motorsports Council (VMC) Please direct any questions about licenses to the Club Racing department in the National Office. C. All Vintage cars must conform to Appendix Z of the SCCA Vintage Competition Rulebook (VCR), publication #5684 dated March 2005. Roll cages as defined in Appendix Z of the current VCR are required in all production cars considered model year 1973 or later. There is no requirement for cars from model year 1972 or earlier to have roll cages; however, members are encouraged to install roll cages in such cars where satisfactory installation can be achieved. At a minimum, roll bars are required for production cars from model year 1972 or earlier. Where allowed, roll bars must conform to Appendix Z of the current VCR. Driver restraint systems must meet current GCR requirements. Driver window safety net or arm restraints are required in closed cars. Open cars require arm restraints. D. Vintage/Historic cars shall not be allowed to be grouped with any other SCCA racing classes (except in a Drivers9 School). E. Former Spec Racer Renaults may compete in Vintage/Historic events. (See 9.2.1.G.) The major change is in Section C relating to roll bar/cage requirements. The 2011 Oregon Region Supplemental Regulation have been revised to conform with the new National requirements and can be found here: Don9t forget about the Region Tech Day on February 19 at PIR. As always if you have any question regarding the Oregon Region Vintage program please contact me, Dan Mullin , Gary Van Horn , or Spencer Gorham . See you at the track! -- David Franks franks97 at frontier.com 67 AH Sprite #82 Blue
