DSAC Drive the Mile Photos & Picnic - May 6th

[Aero426]

Here are some pics from our "Drive the Mile" event at the Milwaukee Mile Speedway, and club picnic afterward. The Mile is the oldest racetrack in continuous operation in the United States -since 1903.  We had a SUPER turnout with 14 local cars from the club plus the vintage race cars. 



Ron & Darlene Holtdorf - 6 pack 4-speed, original paint car.
***



Roy & Diane Lange, 6 pack Superbird, 18k original miles.
***



Mike Borkowski - 6 pack, 4-speed, original owner, original paint, 27k miles - WOW!   Mike let his son in law John drive the car today.   That was the first time anyone other than Mike has sat behind the wheel of the car in 37 years.

Jim & Melanie Plimpton - Torino Talladega,  428CJ - all business and FIERCE sounding.

Dave Poppe - B5 blue white bench, automatic

We have a local vintage racing series that has replicas of old stock cars.  This car started out as a street based Charger and they run them on the track.  Yes, that is home made nose.

This "Talladega" race replica  has a home made front clip.  Not bad looking, I say.

Hey it appears that all the aero cars showed up but 500's. Whats the deal.

Guess I should have drug mine out, and made the trip up. But it was my bday that weekend, so I stayed home.

Yep, all we were missing to complete the set was a 500.   You'll just have to make it up in August.

Great pics Doug and I like the wheels on Mike Borkowski's Superbird.  Bet something like that would look good on a Daytona too, don't you think?

Hey Doug, looks like alot of fun. I really wish I could have been there also. I'm still trying to see if there is any way I can make it there in August, I'm sure it will be awesome. All those car looked great. You wouldn't happen to know how to put me in touch with the guy who owns the #6 clone Daytona, I would like to talk to him about the decals on his car.

Thanks and Take care,

The truth is that it's nice to know your car is worth something.  But to most of us in those photos, it is not at all about the cash.   A lot of those folks in the pics bought those cars a long, long time ago.

Yerah, I know.  it seems that everytime I talk to someone who is lucky enough to own a bird or Daytona has had it since next to new.  I just wish I could own one.
