I’ve been hooked on 60-70’s road racing stuff lately. Lots of great cars, characters and some amazing races to look back on from that time period. Love hearing/reading the old timers tell the stories and all the behind the scenes drama. Definitely heading to see the historic races this Sept out at Lime Rock or Watkins, not sure which one yet. ---
