Driving into Monterey\u2019s Laguna Seca on Thursday, the weather did not look good. A cold rain was accented by an even more frigid wind. Still, the paddock was filling with cars, mostly covered with polyethylene sheets. With the rain, not many drivers took advantage of the track for testing. But my iPhone weather app was positive for the rest of the weekend, showing sun with a few clouds Friday through Sunday.<\/p>\n

By Friday morning, the paddock was full of a selection of vintage racers and Historic Trans-Am race cars<\/a>. Still, the weather was not helping as the rain and wind were more potent than Thursday. The SVRA Weather Gods prevailed, and by 1 PM, the rain had gone east, leaving a heavy cloud cover.\u00a0 With the wind, the track was quickly drying, leaving only a few wet areas to be avoided.<\/p>\n

SVRA brought to Weathertech Laguna Seca twelve groups of Vintage cars and the Historic Trans-Am cars.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Historic Trans-Am cars from 1966 to 1972, the heyday of Trans-Am racing. Beautifully restored vehicles taken back to their original condition as they first appeared on track. Dan Gurney has said that Trans-Am \u201cwas the very best kind of road racing\u201d Parnelli Jones said, \u201cThe Trans-Am was the greatest road racing series that has ever run over here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twenty-one cars were entered; not all twenty-one made the show. Those cars that made the show Saturday and Sunday put on an exciting display of nose-to-tail racing. Each lap displayed multiple passing from the first to the last car. Spectators under the trees inside The Corkscrew were loud with their cheering.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

SVRA Group one consisted of small production sedans such as the Mini Minor or Turner 950S. Tight close racing with lots of passing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

SVRA group two small-bore open-wheel racers. Merlyn, Brabham and Winkelmann among others. These guys pulled passing maneuvers on each of Laguna\u2019s eleven turns.\u00a0 Often open-wheel to open-wheel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

SVRA Group two consists of everyone\u2019s favorite cars. Small-bore production cars for the fifties through seventies. Porsche 356<\/a>, 914, and Morgan 4\/4 plus a Datsun Roadster and Austin Healeys. Even a Triumph TR4, GT6, and an Elva Courier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
James Dean – 1970 Porsche 914-4 \u00a92022 Dennis Gray<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SVRA Group four was a smaller group of three cars. My favorite is a Sadler Mk IV Chevy special, a Porsche Abarth GTL, perhaps the most elegant car of the weekend, and a Genie Sports Racer. Not a large group but a group populated with fast, loud, beautiful cars.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Bob Roth – 1963 Genie SR \u00a92022 Dennis Gray<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SVRA Group five was three group 5A cars and eight group 5B cars. Both groups consisted of small-bore sports racers. They are quick through Laguna\u2019s tight infield, followed by going up the hill five through seven, then the drop-down the Corkscrew.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Nik Romano – 1968 Ginetta G16 \u00a92022 Dennis Gray<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SVRA Group Six was a combination of A production, B production, GT, and two TAS cars. Big loud, and fast. Watching these cars pop over turn two\u2019s ridge and then drop at speed down the track before braking to get into the tight turn two was an education in braking and passing.<\/p>\n

Close racing with some paint sharing by the end of the weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Michael Origer – 1969 Chevrolet Corvette<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SVRA Group seven had three cars. But what a three. If you are old enough to remember the USRRC races held at Laguna, the 1965 McLaren and the 1967 McLaren brought back fond memories. They were joined by a third car, a McLaren M12 from the Can-Am days. There is nothing in racing like standing inside turn eight, The Corkscrew, when you first hear one of these big Chevrolet engines in a Can-Am or USRRC car fire up down below in the pits, then as they pull onto the track, following their sound around the track until they pop into view entering The Corkscrew. Great fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Grant Perryman – 1967 McLaren M1C<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SVRA Group 8 was one of the largest groups of the weekend. Datsun 510, BMW 2202, Nissan, Volvo, Alfa Romeo, Ford, and Toyota made up this group. Tight racing was once again the word.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SVRA Group nine was Formula Atlantic, Mazda Pro Formula, FSV, and other fast formula cars. Maybe the quickest group through The Corkscrew.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
James Johnston, Jr. – 2004 Mazda Pro Formula<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SVRA Group ten was composed of bigger GT cars. Chevrolet Camaro\u2019s, a Viper, Porsches of various denominations including a 935, Thunderbird, Lumina, and others. NASCAR mixed with Pony Cars, Porsche, and Dekon Monzas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Gordon Johnson – 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass \u00a92022 Dennis Gray<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SVRA Group eleven was a small group in number but not in visual excitement. A Kudzu-Mazda, Audi R8-LMP and a Norm M20F made up this group. If watching the Audi R8-LMP navigate Laguna Seca does not get your heartbeat accelerated, you are at the wrong event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Travis Engen – 2005 Audi R8 LMP \u00a92022 Dennis Gray<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SVRA Group twelve A and twelve B was a combined nine cars. A swift 1968 Datsun Fairlady, BMW CSL and a 325, 2013 Mustang, 911RSR, a couple of Datsun 260Z, Dodge Viper<\/a> composed group twelve.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Chandler Briscoe – 1973 BMW CSL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SVRA ran combined groups so that the spectator often was at a loss as to what groups were on track. Every qualifying session and race produced exciting nose-to-tail or door-to-door racing. It would be hard to find a better example of vintage racing on Laguna\u2019s vintage track than these SVRA drivers and cars provided.<\/p>\n

Next week SVRA pulls its trucks, tents, cars, crews, and drivers from Weathertech Laguna Seca Raceway and moves 2 hours 30 minutes, 153.3 miles North up 101 to Sears Point Sonoma Raceway, where they set up camp and start over again this coming weekend. April 28th through May 1st, SVRA will be racing at Sears Point. If you enjoy vintage racing, do not miss this opportunity.<\/p>\n
