Thanks Jim, That looks like a good event to attend, Ive seen a couple here in England but its interesting to see what its like over the pond I appreciate your taking the photos and letting us see them, there's some beautiful cars there the p330 is my favorite car aesthetically, I'm loving the Lotuss too I've always been a big fan and managed to wangle a factory tour a few years ago which was very interesting although they wouldn't let me through the door marked special developments. It is good to see the Tyrell too, and surprising to see one over there considering the size of the company and the limited numbers of cars they made, I used to live where the Tyrell factory was, a converted lumber yard in a little one pub village so there was always a lot of support for the blue cars in F1 when I was growing up.

I'm not usually a fan of American muscle subscribing to the Colin Chapman philosophy of speed through light weight, but car number 77 on pages 17-19 looks like a right beast and mixed with a lot of retro cool what is it?

Thanks for the share Jim. That's a really nice mix of old school racers. Wanted to go to see the super bikes at Mid Ohio this weekend but decided not to endure upper 80's and humidity.
