I always enjoy seeing Corvettes either "trundling" from the paddock to the track or just assembled sitting still.

Sitting quietly is John Anderson's 1963 Corvette # 27 among a group of Corvettes and a Mustang.

Approaching the home stretch.
Porsche owners always get the best parking spots !

An early Porsche 911 with a priority parking spot !

The distinctive pink 1987 Camaro # 28 of Walter Brown.

The very patriotically painted 1970 Camaro # 48 of Lance Smith.

If only we'd had zero cost digital pics 60 years ago, how different this site would be!

So many missed opportunities, when trying to make a couple of rolls of 36 black and white last the weekend - and a fair chunk of the weekly (youth) wage also spent on processing and the cost of (selective) enlargements prohibitive.

Time for some Ford vehicles in Group 6.

As Lance Smith swings his 1970 Camaro # 48 onto the track one can see that spectator stands were empty due to the Covid restrictions at the time.

That was a shame as they missed out on some great dueling throughout this almost thirty car field of Historic Trans Am cars.

And that was just in one class !
I felt very privileged that I was allowed to enter the track as a team member and I am very grateful to those who arranged it.
My camera battery was not charged as I had hoped so I just snapped away as much as I could between 9 am and 4 pm with a back up phone camera. It has taken a while to format the shots down to TRS requirements so excuse the delay but I think I did a pretty decent job of it.
It may be a while before I get back to a live meet but I'm glad I had this opportunity to share this one day "back at the track".

As the shadows lengthen it is time to say farewell to these magnificently maintained machines.
