This year I only made it to the Road America Indy Car weekend for one day, Sunday, June 18th for the race. I also got to see and visit with my Vintage Indy Registry friends.
Vintage Indy Registry was started in 2017 by Ron Nelson and Mike Lashmett to preserve, record and organize events of the older Indy Cars. Keeping records of these cars is the big part of it. I believe that is because a lot of the cars get changed about through the years. Good to know what's original in a car or a replica.
Each year a few new cars appear that have been restored to perfection. It is a great sight to see these beautiful cars running on track every time.
It's not a race but a good time to get your older vintage Indy Car on track. They all sound beautiful especially the Lotus jet car that has a very unique sound unlike any Indy Car.
Enjoy a look at these beautiful cars that are running other events not just at Road America. This past weekend they were at Indianapolis Raceway Park running with the Harry Miller Indy Cars. Wish I could have been there.
Thanks,
