SVRA - VARA Historic Sportcar Festival









Ed Schwartz did  a great job in putting together another great week-end of great vintage race cars. Pam, Victory Lane Magazine, was able to secure a great group of IndyCar racers too.  Lots of cars, lots of people, and we had a very mixed week-end, with a set of front tires that were defective...put 2 older tires at the front and ...even if it was great fun for 2 laps.. then they lost all grip and the understeer was a challenge.  Never drove a car with literally no more grip from the front end on the last lap.  But racers race, so we started the sunday race anyway knowing that the car was handicapped by tires. I bit scary through turn 2...vibrations was really bad.   Thank you to German from Diario La Prensa, Carmen From WRadio 690m, and the friends that stop by.  Other supervees on track... Robert Merrit.(Ralt RT5)..again with a flawless run, Paul Lisec (Ralt RT5)  run into some electrical issues, John Acampora (Ralt RT5) had to retire (due to having to go to work on sunday--the car look great!), Dave Dwoskin (Ralt RT5) had a great run too.
Ok Iam told all CALIFORNIA SUPERVEE are going to Coronado, so mark your calendar and join us there....

Final testing before the race...always something needs to be tighten or adjusted. Frank and Mathew (with Paul Deenan as on site supervisor and YouTube Tech Support) work well into midnite...Ricardo's ribs were a thing to try!

Surgery.....the vital organs are ok !


Water pump failure...but since the cyl. head is  out we may as well open it up and check!  A.. OK !
