awesome. You were racing against those newer Corvettes? Offhand, the oldest Corvette I saw was a single 1976 model with the vast majority of them being 2001 and newer. I was in the 90 mph class which means the object is to average as close as possible to 90 mph for 118 miles. Taking the hills and curves into consideration, that’s a challenge. Many of the curves are blind and are at the crests of hills so the navigator’s job gets important at this point in communicating what’s coming up. The final tally for the ’55 Ford was 89.998 mph on the southbound leg and 89.997 mph on the northbound leg. The target time for each leg of the race is 39:20:00 and the ’55 was off for both legs by a total of 00:00.140 which is about a tenth of a second. There are speed classes ranging from 85 to 155 mph and then an unlimited class. Many of the unlimited cars do exceed 200 mph in the straights. The attrition rate in the unlimited class is extremely high and we passed a majority of those cars that ended up being sidelined on the side of the road as we made our way up and down both legs of the race.

Ted, it doesn't get any better than that. Did they commit Hari Kari, or whatever it's called? Congratulations and Salutations.
