I think the closest we have here is the Rolex Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca. That being said there are a number of vintage racing organization in the US, including VSCCA, SVRA, HRS, etc. Some are regional, some are national, and many weekends find vintage racing at tracks around the country.

The Goodwood Revival is a wonderful thing until this happens
OUCH! that makes me cringe. In 2002 I went to a Ferrari/Maserati weekend at Brands Hatch in Kent (one of the UK's finest race circuits). In addition to lots of expensive cars of all ages being on display, Saturday and Sunday saw a mix of modern Ferrari Modena 360 racing and vintage F1 car races. Several 360's blew engines or were buried in the tyre walls with little impact on my senses but when a vintage F1 car put a wheel on the wet grass my heart was in my mouth. The big bonus was the Saturday night concert featuring Eric Clapton and Jules Holland. These meetings are great. |

I think I remember reading that Ferrari banned Harris from reviewing their cars after he accused them of bending rules but they are friends again now. |

I saw that Cortina roll (a lot). I had two Cortinas back in the day, and yes I rolled one into a cornfield! Not drunk, just too tired to drive. We settled on one side and my girlfriend and I had to push it onto its wheels .. I drove it home. " .. no-one hurt, nothing to see here, move along". Lots of Goodwood Revival stuff on YouTube now but I just wanted to share the kiddies in the pedal cars.

I like Chris, he's a good pilot and good mannered. On the other hand, I like Tanner Faust too, but I'd have a beer with Harris.

I didn't realise until I pulled out of the police station car park that they'd taken off all the mirrors and unscrewed the driver's seat. A hairy drive home.

Chris Harris and Tanner Foust are racing drivers. Harris is one of the presenters on the 'new' UK Top Gear (we get it on BBC America) and Foust used to be presenter on USA Top Gear. The History Channel cancelled USA Top Gear two years ago, so Foust is racing full time. I see him mostly doing Rally Cross when they show it on FOX Sports or ESPN. Harris also has his own channel on YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8A...ep7VJKe1sxvHFg Foust has a presence there too. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8A...ep7VJKe1sxvHFg
