Looks like the May 18-20 Road America Vintage weekend. The CIS cars are in with the stock cars and tube frame Trans Am cars.

They're incredible. I remember the Merkurs of Halsmer and Pruett, as well as Tommy Kendall's record setting run, but until I began working with a few drivers in these cars (ex-Roush, ex-Riley), I had NO IDEA that they were as fast as they are. Braking, cornering are amazing and the power, well, the power is breathtaking. Pushing a brick through the air at speeds comparable to a DP car is amazing.

Peter- just curious, how costly are those cars (Trans Am) to maintain? I used to love watching them when they were a support race for the Long Beach Champ Car races. Fast, great sounds, great racing, and some really good drivers.
