Well, the Kastner Cup has given me great reason and opportunity to visit some
very special tracks and towns with significant historical appeal. I'd have to
agree that Road America and Watkins Glen with the enthusiastic community
surrounding the racing events are especially wonderful.
Elkhart Lake's Osthoff hotel is the place to stay.

Amici...
The responses to 'Best spectator vintage event' all tickle me. They remind me
of that old joke that ends, "Well,...even bad sex is pretty good." Point being,
pick one, you damn near can't go wrong.
But of course some are better than others. We had run most of the major tracks
in the country east of Hallet, and in fact many of the minor tracks as well. I
think my top five suggestions would include the 'major annual' vintage events
at Road America, Road Atlanta, Lime Rock, Mid-Ohio, and Watkins Glen. If I had
to pick just one Top Choice (and having been given the guideline of bring 'an
auto enthusiast vice an experienced racer'), I think I'd pick the Lime Rock
Labor Day weekend because their No Sunday Racing policy allows for a second
'happening'. On Sunday they have a HUGE Concours that attracts tons and tons of
exotic collector cars. I think that would sit well given the guidelines. Add to
that...it is a back to back racing weekend with the big Watkins Glen event,
providing an opportunity to get to both of them (and there is plenty to do in
the area during the days between them.
