31st annual VARAC Vintage Festival

[Vicsr44]

If you weren't there you missed what might possibly have been the best Festival ever! Large fields (several over 60 cars), Beautiful cars, Intense racing, Great comraderie and a superb car show!
If anyone ever tells you that vintage drivers just stroll around the track showing off their cars, don't believe them! I have the pictures to prove how tight & fierce the racing is!!! Yet the incidents were few (although Sunday's feature G70+ race had its moments).

Hats off to Walter Davies, Stefan Wiesen & the VARAC guys for putting on an outstanding show.

My son and I were there and could not believe how fierce the competition was. Reminded me of the seventies when the grids were always full. Over 60 cars grids sure made for interesting races within races! Our favourite car/competitor of the weekend was Nick Pratt and his diminutive MG Midget #89. Nick has been racing Mosport since the seventies and I am sure this weekend was his finest moment. We watched him as he passed the Lotus 11 on the outside of 2 and cheered him on as he dominated the MG race. He blew the whole field into the weeds. After his race he was congratulated by a number of SCCA competitors who actually thanked him for putting on a driving clinic around 'his' track. King for a day .... Mr. Mosport for sure (two 3rd place trophies, a 6th placing, and 1rst overall in the feature MG race - he was even awarded the v8 award after scaring the MGBGTV8 off the track on his first lap. What a wild weekend of racing. Any one got an idea on the number of spectators?
Seemed like the good old days! Cannot wait until the next meet ;D

Great to see these beautiful cars hangin' it out. Lots to see all weekend, on and off the track.
