Great report, Bryan. And that's a beautiful car you won concours with. Jerry's car with the working headlights is just too much.
Congrats to all who were able to race in this historic event. Kudos to everyone that made it possible.

Looking at some of the anglewinders, they look like they are full plumbers. I was under the impression that the chassis could only have one hinge or am I thinking of another class?
Edit: Thanks Greg!

Another class...

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

Very little pan movement, most floppy hinge pans.

So glad to have been there. It was great fun. Thank you, Bryan, and everyone who made it possible.

I had a blast on the Flatster! Really like the A/W Coupes. Duran was simply not going to be caught.
