[Spridgets] SCCA 60th Sprite Midget Anniversary Elkhart Lake / Road America Street Course and Concours

[stanbmason at aol.com]

I would like to let everyone know that I have been working on having SCCA Spridgets Join us.  I am disappointed in not having firm responses from VSCDA at this point.  I will do my best to have some kind of confirmation by April 1, 2018.  I do not appreciate the bashing for an event that I have spent endless hours creating in hopes of getting all current and past SCCA racers to attend.  I am not sure why SCCA or those that race SCCA have not taken the initiative to do their own 60th event!

As I seem to be on this list, I thought I'd add my thoughts.  First, you should be honored that folks like Ron Bartell want to be involved.  He and the others like him are the guys that have carried the water for you for years without you recognizing it.  All the knowledge base you rely on, all the development work that has produced the performance parts you need is a result of their dedication, and not yours.  These folks and the cars they race represent far more of the 60 years of Sprite racing than Vintage Racing can ever can.


This is probably the last Sprite "benchmark" year that will likely be celebrated.  Exclude these highly developed cars now and you're not apt to see the like of them again.  I came across this video the other night, watch it and imagine excluding a car and driver like this from the 60 year history of racing Sprites.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvLbi_ibxV4   ... I can't.


And Ron, I can tell you that Jack Woerle - who organizes the last VSCDA of the year at Road America - will definitely allow your car to run.  He's done it for me and openly welcomes the participation of current SCCA cars of the historic marques.
