Hi Bruce,

I think I'm pretty likely to head over. Assuming I do, I'll probably drive over Friday evening or Saturday morning and stay through Monday.

Look forward to seeing you there.

I bought my tickets today for Sat/Sun/Mon. I'll be arriving probably mid-morning on Saturday and will be parked in the Lotus Corral (Sat only).

Hi Dave,

We'll be heading up early Saturday morning and I assume we'll park in the Lotus corral as well. Look forward to seeing you again!

Thought I'd give a quick belated update on the vintage festival.

Went up early Saturday morning with just a touch of rain as we got close to LRP. The state police were out in force so it was definitely a relaxed drive. The sun came out and it turned into a nice warm day. Ed L. showed up with his wife and their red Caterham and Dave W. showed up with his Brg/Yellow/Ali Caterham. It was good to see Dave and Ed again, talk about Sevens, and check out all the vintage racecars. The highlight for me was checking out the MB W154 that was just recently restored at Paul Russell, Crosthwaite & Gardner, and others, and was on it's way to the Collier Museum in Florida. I believe this was the first time it was run on track in 70 years, although I think it did some hillclimbs in the meantime.

Here's a few pics of Dave during the lunchtime parade lap, Ed's car in the Lotus corral, and myself during the parade lap.

Thanks to Nancy for staying in the infield to take the on-track photos.

We also took some photos of the W154 on track. The sound from that car was amazing! :hurray:

Sorry we weren't able to find Ed and his wife in the crowd....we tried! I was hoping he'd take his Caterham out for the parade lap!

All in all it was a fun day!

A few more shots of a Six, Seven S1, Seven S2, Eleven, and a new one for me, a Lancia D50. :)
