1958 MGA Coupe

some short back ground is needed, about 12 years ago my buddy Jeff S had an extra crew ticket for Lime Rock race track in Ct. the race track was about 45 mins or so away from my home town, where I would go back to visit my parents frequently. so over the course of the next several years i would plan trips to coincide with Lime Rock race events to hang out with Jeff . That lead to going to Watkins Glenn in 2014 with Jeff where I met Eric R. in person and bunch of the other NAMGAR people. As nature tooks its course my trips up north ended. However lucky for me Summit Point Motor sports park is just an hour away and located near by two adult sons.


So some conversations between Eric R and Jeff S lead us to this. My sons joined me at the Summit Point race track with the camper beast (a F250 superduty 4x4 lifted 7.3 diesel) this is the truck we replaced the steering gear, ties rode ends, drag link steering dampner in. it was set up as a high desert camper in Missoula Mt and we brought it east this past summer





the view out the back window




this lead to some light crew activities






which lead to some nice pictures a good time and a beautiful Mark 2 as a pace car








VRG hosted a chili party and the view in and out of the camper









we had a blast.
 
pretty darn cool
There was one particularly funny moment when the racers we were helping out asked my sons what cars they grew up with and would race since all the cars they were racing are from their generation and they grew up with them, my son looked at them and said I grew up with corvettes and these car's. Made me a proud dad!!! I did my job.
