This weekend was the annual VARA British Extravaganza at Buttonwillow Raceway. The weather was sunny and hot, and the racing was great. The medium-bore group I raced with had 33 cars, with several BMW 2002s, Triumph TR4s, Alfa GTVs, Porsche 914s, and Datsun 510s. The Wagon was in fine form, running second all weekend, and turning its best times ever for the CW13 track configuration (2:04s). All the recent prep work and a fresh set of Hoosiers really paid off.
I truly enjoyed watching the Historic group race, you gotta give credit to a racer who has to hand-crank his motor to get his car running! And as great as the racing was, the post-race TABS 2.5 mixer and the VARA barbeque reminds us that our racing buddies are just as important as our cars…
