SAAC-46 National Convention, Sonoma Raceway, CA

[JWH]

I believe someone has posted videos of the Vintage Race Saturday afternoon. Two red GT350s, one wearing the number 314 on its door and one wearing 341 on the door were bumper-to-bumper nearly the entire race with at least 3 lead changes. GREAT racing.
      The drag racing on Friday was fun to watch also. There was a '71-''73 Ranchero (not sure of the year but think Starsky & Hutch front end painted brown with a pickup bed in back) and also a turd brown Station Wagon that not only ran well on the drag strip but threw down some nice laps during the open track session. Surprisingly, I did not see a Tesla line up for a pass. BUT! there was a Tesla model S running open track.  "Hello Elon, uh yeah, I need a new set of brakes. I know the car is only two months old but these just didn't wear well."
      A huge thank you to everyone who organized and volunteered to make this a most enjoyable weekend! And to everyone who was able and willing to bring a car.

    Thank you for posting. The fastest Ford was a newer GT500 that ran 6 10 second passes with the fastest being 10.113@142+ MPH . This was on DOT tires!!!! The group of cars was excellent and the drivers were EXCELLENT!!!!! ZERO problems , no loss of run time and an excellent commendation from the track officials AGAIN. We are THE BEST group that they have had. Car preparation , respectful drivers , and enthusiastic as well.
     THANK YOU to ALL participants and all those who made it happen!

How was the attendance?
I went to SAAC Fontana with my kid and Kiwi and the number of people was low by any standard.
