A few shots in the paddock area, including Les Gonda's MGB GTV8, John Targett's class 3 1964 Roadster, and Graham Hill's Indy winning Lola.

...and a few more general shots.........there were 400 entrants, everything from old Bugatti's, to open wheel Formula 1, Formula Atlantic, and Formula 5000's, plus the usual selection of big bore Corvettes, Camaros, Mustang, Jags.
I recommend that this event goes on everybody's calendar for next year.

Keen observation, Curtis!
That's why I'd make a lousy auto journalist - I could have chatted and made some notes but didn't - one thing for sure, he is a fellow Canuck.
