re: Vintage Racer Group's "Turkey Bowl XIII", November 27-29 (http://www.vrgonline.org/EVENTS/TURK/TURK.html)

From what I hear, this is about as casual as racing ever gets... the drivers just want to have one last weekend of fun before winter really sets in.  I'll be home for Thanksgiving, and Summit Point is practically in my mom's backyard so I plan to check it out.  If the weather cooperates, it will be fun to see the cars.  Any of you guys think you might get there?

I plan to be there Saturday to help a buddy out with his Sprite and enjoy the races.

A-H Sprite (~1965),
Crossle (Formula Ford, ~1969),
Daimler SP250 (~1960),
Elva Mark IV (~1958),  
Elva 200 (Formula Junior, ~1960),
