The HSR event never equaled the SVRA event in Septemeber, but it was always a great time, with the HSR dinner on the lake always at treat. HSR seemed to have a class for everyone. It was a treat to see the high end cars that the Legends series is trying to attract, while still having small bore cars. The Legend Series has eliminated the small bore cars. In stead of doing the HSR Glen race we are now headed to Ohio for the SVRA race. Nothing against Mid Ohio, but we really like the Glen. As I said, I don't want to be negative but many of the elements in the establishing the Legends week end purposely seem to separate the vintage community. I love Sam Posey, but whats wrong with people associating small bore cars with vintage cars. Looking forward to the SVRA race at the Glen this year.

He said that numerous cars were declined entry because their history was not good enough. Seems like the initial events would try to get as many cars as possible and they could trim in later years.

Although the cars were high quality , it just wasn't as exciting as the vintage grand prix held there in September. I realize this was an inaugural event and only hope that it becomes more popular. I always camp at the "Glen" and so I was able to pick a great site because there were so few other campers there. I should also mention that if it wasn't raining it was very uncomfortably HOT and humid. This might be the factor on which I decide to attend next year.

One of the best from the Golden Age. Good article and I especially like the photos of the Ferrari 512 by Doug Seeley. One of the best from the Golden Age.
