9/5/08 - 9/7/08 - Knapp Vineyards Sporting Roadster Tour

Pro photo over the old course bridge... needs to be scanned high resolution! :) Great 8x10 picture for framing, cost $30 though :( That's Jerry's GPW and Jonas' Sebring behind me :)


150+ mile tour with 130 old and new convertible two seaters on Friday... GREAT tour route by our very own S owners Doug and Eric! We also got to do 2+ laps of the old WG course, the big highlight for me :)

Saturday attended the Vintage races at the track from 11-5 until the fog got so thick and low they closed down qualifying for safety reasons.

Sunday got to watch the Belgian F1 race with other fans at the WG auto racing museum (2nd time this year), what a blast!!! Great race results too, long as you are not a red car fan ;) LOL!

Same photo set as Sepia for Vintage look :)

Down the hill into the village, driving the old course...

More on the old course

Probably the most famous spot of old course, over the stone bridge

Doug giving everyone directions at Registration.

Here's why Doug's shirt looked SO nice! :D

Taken at registration Friday morning... convertibles everywhere!

Lots of Silverstones ;)

Jerry cleaning his car...

More S in the lineup...

Jonas putting on his world famous Honda racing shoes :D

Eric and Cheryll pose with Tadashi... only the 2nd time my tonneau cover has been on :D

On the drive...

Signs for 414 - a main route in the WG area :)

Stopped for a break in the park... great mix of cars.

S2000s and Miatas played nice together ;) Next year we beat their numbers mercilessly!!! I ran into a Miata driver I knew... he was wearing the T shirt they gave us at the PIR track day I attended July 22 :)

Silverstones everywhere!!!

Stopped at lunch at Knapp Vineyards.

Eric and Cheryll sample the wine ;) Larry and Jan look on... (they drive the yellow Miata pictured above).

One of the many benefits was parking downtown right on Franklin Street.

Oh look, more Silverstones ;)

The vintage race cars also did the old course :)

I love these cars!

This car was driven by David Hobbs, now famous on Speed TV :)

The following were taken Saturday at the track... sat in the comfy seats behind the pits, much more comfortable then stadium seating across the way! I wrote down section and seat numbers for next year's races I hope to attend :)

There was so many cars in a couple classes they backed them in and did an old school racing start having them pull out from a standing start...

The following are also from Saturday, sitting in grandstand seats at the top of my favorite place, the Esses :)

The following were taken from Turn 10 grand stand, not a great location but I tried to check out as many different places at the track as possible... I think I walked about 20 miles this weekend!

Was great to see some of the really vintage cars out on track too
