The Milwaukee Mile

Penfifteen was nice enough to post his shots of various vintage race cars sitting on the Milwaukee Mile a few days ago. Somehow I missed it, but they always say you are better late than never…

I’ve spent most of the morning studying and dreaming. My biggest single take-away?

I have a lot of passions, but I live to someday realize the glory of an early 60’s/late 50’s road track car in my garage. To me, cars from this era represent the absolute pinnacle of the automobile.
