Topic starter  

I attended the Ironstone Vineyards Concours this last weekend.  This has been held in Murphys Cal. for the last 30 years. It usually draws about 300 cars so there is quite a variety cars. On thing they have every year is a dirt track exhibition race for the old timers. It is nice to see some of these old racers at speed. There was a car that was raced in Indianapolis and a couple that had won the Pikes Peak among others. Several Nationals, a Buick, a Model T speedster and others. There was about 10 or 12 cars in the race. The last photo is of a 1910 Glide, beautiful car that was a fresh restoration and first in its class.

Thanks for the post Curtis. In 2021 I saw a bunch of pre-WW1 cars at speed in Chattanooga. Marques included E-M-F, Lozier, Packard, Nyberg, National, Hudson, and a Marmon Wasp replica built by Corky Coker (Coker Tires makes vintage rubber for all the old classics).
