Here begins a series of posts of shots I took at the Vintage Sports Car Drivers' Association meet at Blackhawk Farms on June 15-16, 2013. I'm putting a pic up for blog follower Chris, which will get me in trouble with him right off the bat. But I had to group the shots somehow...

| Sacrilege! What do 510's have in common with a 240-Z, other than the brand name? They were well-represented, though. There were over 10 of them and, along with a sprinkling of other marques, they had their own B Sedan race on Saturday, as well as running in a larger group on both days. There were a lot of affinity groups going on this year: 510's, Alfas, Formula V's, mostly paddocked next to each other. I was told that the entry list for the weekend was 180 cars, of which 160 showed up. This compares with 110 last year. "Evidently the economy is improving," we said. |

| Above and below: more sacrilege! What do Big Healeys have in common with a 240-Z, other than a straight six? But they're too pretty to exclude. Nobody goes racing anymore without a GoPro... And from the looks of the windshield and roll bar, this car is no garage queen. The car below was entered by "Puppies Racing," which I prefer to call "Team Teal." They have 4 cars, all painted the same 1990's BMW factory color, all with three-digit race numbers with a zero in the middle. Their B-Production Corvette goes to Road America next weekend. But they brought only one car to Blackhawk, this lovely Healey. |

Thanks for the pictures! Really like the 510's and Healey's. My late Father-in-law and his brother wrecked a Mark III on an icy street in downtown Chicago.
So THOSE were those two guys driving around with the top down in the Blizzard of '78! ;-)
More like 1965, you really had two in 78?
Wasn't in Chicagoland back then, have just heard about 'em. But it's not like we don't get a couple of stemwinders per season. '78 seems to be the one the Old Timers remember. There were TWO in '78?!?!?
