Not to take anything away from the Ginetta driver ( he's giving that thing a pretty good thrash)- but vintage 'racing' isn't really racing. Mostly just old guys with expensive cars (who are mortally afraid of damaging them), cruising around playing race driver. It is fun- but it's not racing.

Still looks like fun tho.

I tried auto-crossing with my 95 GT and it was fun, but the parking lots I raced in were small so I couldn't get up much speed.
But after watching that video, I would love to take a run around a big track like that.

Chris,

Yes there is such a forum. It's lateralg.com

One of my chevelle's is being built for such events..by myself, of course.

You can't tell me that wasn't racing, NOBODY wants to finish second. When I think of old guys with expensive cars, I think of NHRA class racers !
