I know some of you took really cool photos at the "Heacock Classic Gold Cup" vintage races at V.I.R.

Why not post your favorites in this thread?

Curtis, I only took a couple of the racing and those are pretty long distance and some of the British V8 group that attended. Here they are. In the second photo that's Tevi's Jag in the rear.

Ken Heibert posted these two photos on the meet photo thread... but they're applicable here too.

Les Gonda's MGB GT V8 immediately after winning his big race:

(As I recall Les's car had a small mechanical problem in the qualifying race, so he was obliged to start pretty far back in the feature race, and then work his way up through traffic. The driver of the school bus yellow BMW 2002 put up a spirited fight, but Les pulled ahead to take the checkered flag.)

Les Gonda accepts a great big bottle of champagne, and congratulations:
