Default (56K Warn) Spa-Francorchamps Historic Racing Photos

Just some pics for the crowd from a recent historic racing event at Spa-Francorchamps. I got there late after some furniture shopping so this last group was racing in the 250 miler and consisted of these smaller cars.

I've had a lot of those cars! MG Midget, BMW 2002, mid-80's Carrera, and Morgan. Wish I still had them all (except for the Midget.)

Thanks. Every time i see cars from this era tearing up the track like this it makes me want to not buy a newer P-car and instead just invest in something like these in the photos. Just looks and sounds like so much damn fun.

Nice pics.

You can see these era cars at HSR, SVRA, SCCA HRG and other events here in the states if interested.

Of course but you can't see these era cars on a track like Spa or the Nuerburgring in the States And it's not always the cars its the entire experience these tracks bring about when gatherings like this occurs...just have to experience it first hand!!
