Hi to all, The Great Race will be comming thru Olean, NY this comming Tuesday at 5:30 PM and this is an over niter for them. If any one has not been at the Great Race event in past years, take it in if it passes anywhere near you. The web site is <WWW.Greatrace.com> and gives the itenery of the race and all about it. The Chamber of Commerce is hosting it at Olean. The race came thru 2 years ago and I had the opportunity to see it then. They shut off main street and have a bunch of old cars from the area lined up parked diagnal on the main drag. I have my 55 Plymouth all washed up for the event and am eager to go. When the race cars start to arrive, they enter main street and are timed when they go thru the finish line for the day. It is truely exciting to see these OLD machines running this type of endurance race. On the web site, is a list of the cars and drivers. There is no Forward Look cars racing as most are no newer than I think the late 40's. Just a neat thing to observe!!!! Jack Johnson 55 Plymouth Belvedere |
