This should be huge probably the biggest American themed race meeting outside the USA this year. I have entered my 2nd Gen which I am just finishing off fitting a new engine I have built if I have any problems I still should have enough time to get the 3rd gen ready. I have entered the Historic V8 Racing Associations event and will be my first time out this season

A quick rough calculation I would say there will be approaching 14000bhp on the line!

Well the day was brilliant a real bit of the USA in old England it would have made you guys proud some fantastic bits of old yankee iron on and off the track. I finished both my races in the 2nd gen unfortunately last in both as I had a misfire in the first race and a nice spin in the 2nd also my car was on some 5 year old Dunlop historic tyres that are rubbish as the Kumhos I have mounted on 16 inch rims I was going to use had 5 lug nuts missing which I only found out at the last moment. I will stick a link up to some of my own video later in the meantime here is some from a quick 1st gen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...p;v=FTIWF8VL2TM

Sounds like it was an awesome event. Hopefully you'll get better tires for next year, or at least locate your (lug)nuts.

I love the old iron!!!

I may get the Penske IROC I have in the garage finished and put that on display for next year.
