This past weekend I did not travel to a motorcycle race. This photo highlights the dramatic nature of the course which I did visit, Cadwell Park. The race meeting which I came to see was the second round of the Historic Sports Car Club meeting on the narrow Cadwell Park course which ducks and weaves its way around mountains and woods.
The Historic Sports Car Club is a racing organization which takes a big step into the 'golden era' of motorsports with racing cars from the late 1950's to late 1970's. The racers for the most part are not professional drivers, they are however people who are very passionate about motorsport and even more passionate about the special cars which they own, prepare, and race. Around the paddock you have a chance to see some incredible racing car designs which illustrate racing designers pursuit of performance and asthetics as racing technologies, analysis, and scruitinering were in their infancy. The beauty in many cases is truly burdening on the eye of the beholder.
Rather than spend any more words telling you about the cars, I would rather show them to you. These are a few of my favorite cars that I saw throughout the weekend, hopefully you will enjoy them as much as their owners do! Your friend at speed. Michael
