Saddle Up!  Grid of Vintage Foreign

Rick had me take this kart out during Friday practice.  Nice ride through the Keyhole to back straight...then died.  

Pregrid with the Vintage USA guys

Me and David discussing his original Goodyear Blue Streak tires.  Great shape...used by his father a couple times in the  1970s

Rick Chapman and me.  What a great help and mentor.

Saturday's Vintage USA: Herb Dickel.  Herb was running ahead of me when he lost screws on a wheel,  one can be seen flipping at me on my GoPro video in the Keyhole.

  1. Great Pictures Todd!
    They will really help get more people out there next time. It's really hard taking pictures when you're racing that day. I'm glad someone did. Good job!
