I believe a driving event should be mandatory. If only to see the cars
under
their own power... How about a s-l-o-w crawl around the autocross
circuit? And
to give the casual attendee an opportunity enjoy the whole event.

Hear, hear, Don! Over the years, I've seen (or in a few instances, seen
photos or video of) Heralds, Vitesses, Mayflowers, a Standard Vanguard
Sportsman, Southern Crosses, 10 sedans -- even a genuine TRS Le Mans
car -- run autocross or at least funkhana.
And I haven't seen him in years, but I remember one person from the
East Coast who would drive the "heck" out of his car to go to a
convention, drive the "heck" out of it in several driving events...and
then spend a fair portion of the rest of his time there cleaning the
car back to near perfection and winning trophies for show as well as
"go"!
I admit that I didn't do many driving events in Red Wing in '02. Part
of that might have been simply because I'd driven 1225 miles to get
there in the then-newly acquired '62 Herald. ;-)

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
