Dick Miles reports that the Ferrari reached 135mph, much to his shock and concern!

That was the best one, Cliff. So Cool. What is that Sprite about a liter? Nice tune!
Would have loved to hear the town lawyers response when presented with the plan, but cudos to the organizers for making that happen. A really cool event for sure!

Re: Coatesville Vintage Grand Prix - Pics Posted
I can't believe they let people stand lining the outside of a turn, one mistake could make things pretty messy. Maybe the town doesn't have any lawyers. This being my view of it, apparently I am old. That sprite does sound pretty good however.

I'm sure you all noticed that I was passed by a '65 Valient! The shame of it all. He did have a V8 4-speed disc brakes and wide tires. Anyway I was scared to death about hitting a pedestrian and I drove slow. That's my story...

That Frogeye Sprite needs a limited slip diff. Looks like 2A,3D,3E,3C would work well there. About 110mph on the straights. See you next year! Where can I park my 80' rig?

You can park next to the Penske rig.

Re: Coatesville Vintage Grand Prix - Pics Posted
Great footage Cliff! Must be a blast to run normal city streets at race speeds, like you are getting away with something! What's up with the corner workers waving multiple flags?? I think you were DQ'd a number of times!

Cliff was in the green 356. The Sprite driver is unknown. Cliff doesn't want to give him any publicity.

Wow, if this takes place again next year I will definitely check it out. Nice that a race like this can still take place!
