If memory serves me right If you do a no-no such as wrecking, touching other
cars etc. you are banned from participating in the Historic races for a couple
of years.
Was Sit Stirling banned for the usual period of time???? Sir Stirling may have
been granted a waiver. I saw that incident on the tele and thought that the
pass he attempted was a really stupid beginners mistake. Another example of
trying to win the race in the first corner.

Great shots of the concourse Ray, if I'd of known there were going to be so
many Ferrari's I would have come (so many being more than one here in Utah),
and thanks for the blueprint site, that site is a lot of fun.
Anyone going out to the Vintage Bike races this weekend??
Here is a shot I took at Long Beach of the
Ferrari-Lamborghini-Porsche-anything Exotic car coral that accompanied the LB
GP. It is almost enough to make me want to move to So. Cal. There were 4 rows
of Ferrari's, two ½ of Lambo's, 3 ½ of Porsches and 25 other very interesting
exotics. I did not shoot enough pictures of them all, but the attached pic
gives you a little taste (it is amazing how with that many Ferrari's you can
bored looking at 360 Modena's)
A few years ago a rich guy bought a P51 Mustang fighter plane and on one
flight the engine lost power. He was over the desert there was a long dirt road
below him that he could have landed on. But he was scared and decided that he
would bail out rather than try to land on a dirt road. So He jumped, and let
the plane crash, no big deal he thought, I'll just buy another one. He was then
ostersized from the historic plane community because he let a P51 crash without
trying to save it, and no one would sell him another P51 (or so my pilot buddy
tells me) (I can see his point however, risk flipping the plane and dying on a
desert dirt road or bail out and live, hmmmm, I must not be that big of an
historic plane person as I thought). So the question is, should this guy in the
historic Testa Rosa be ostersized for wrecking it????
I guess I'll just cry with you all, and hope they get it repaired. Anybody
remember Sir Stirling Moss bashing the 1959 Le Mans winning Aston Martin (see
Pic) at Monterey a few years ago? He wasn't shunned was he?
Just thinking out loud as I sob!
Later

John Weibel will know for sure, but I think it's a 64-67 275 GTB...or
something close. Here's a kool site for car nutz:
http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/<http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/>
Ya gotta register, but it's free. Not all the blueprints are the highest
quality, but some are great. You can view 'em without registering, but they're
scaled back a bit. I don't understand all the cell phone blueprints, though.
Nice photo, John.

By Sunday, I'll have mine up. I tried to get pics of all the tags, but as I
look back, the exposure or the angles weren't always right to get this info. I
am always amazed at your ability to get the models and years of these things.
Time does not permit be to be so thorough.
I'll attach one more from the Concours for fun. Here is another one that the
placard is overexposed. I bet someone knows what this is.
