We could not have asked for better weather this past weekend for the vintage
races at Elkhart Lake-- low eighties with a light breeze.
Dan, Ken, Steve and myself all met at the track Saturday for some track touring
and classic race care drooling--once again I saw cars I had never before seen
in
person; very little American muscle but loads of fantastic European, British
and
Japanese classics. Hopefully the pictures taken of all of us touring will be
available soon. Link(s) to follow from Dan and what the professional
photographers that were on the track. Saturday evening we walked through a show
car concourse at the Osthoff resort where we stayed Saturday night. There were
even more beautiful cars there. How about that Allard or that 53 (?) Jaguar!!
Sunday we made new Roadster friends when we drove to Joy and Mike Johnson's
farm where we were treated to coffee and pastries and four PERFECT 2000
Roadsters: one from every year of production! Joy and Mike, you have a truly
amazing fleet. I think I can speak for Dan and Ken when I say we are very
envious!! Thanks again for letting each of us drive one of those beauties!!!
After coffee, car talk, a tour of Mike's personal lift garage and more
drooling, we took off for close to three hours of touring and twisties in the
Kettle Moraine area. What fun!! Lunch at the Benson's Hideaway on the Long Lake
in the Kettle Moraine Forest was a blast--great call Charlie!
The day ended too quickly with Roadsters going their own way one by one along
the way as each couple peeled off from the group to head home.
Hopefully we can all get together again before the snow flies...unless of
course
there are others of you crazy enough like me to do a polar bear run!!! Any one
interested?
Thanks again to everyone who was there, Connie and I had a great weekend!!
