Where do Vintage and Historic Race Cars Race?
(just click on the logos below to find out)

Sebring International Raceway "is one of the oldest constantly used tracks in the country, set on the unused runways and support roads for the airport. The first races were in the early 1950s with the famed 12 Hours of Sebring sports car race." It's the perfect place to start off our racing season every March after a long winter of deprivation!
 



The World Center of Racing

 

(Formerly Moroso Motorsports Park) -  located on 200 acres of wooded property in NW Palm Beach County. The facility is one of the few racetracks open year-round with a variety of racing venues."

 

VIRginia International Raceway -
"fun, fast and world class." 
Extraordinary effort has gone into making this one of the premiere racetracks in the country. Take a lap
around the course in photos or video.
 

"Mosport International Raceway is a multi-track facility located north of Bowmanville, Ontario. Mosport features a 2.5 mile, 10 turn road course; a half-mile, paved oval; a 1 km kart track and the 1.5 mile Mosport Driver Development Centre."

Le Circuit  in Quebec
 "is a much sought-after destination
for car lovers because of the proximity of four-star accommodations, gourmet
cuisine, the majestic beauty of the
Laurentians, and of course
the
extraordinary track."

 


"Set in Eastern Wisconsin within reach of Milwaukee and Chicago, this breathtaking road course has been the scene of Can-Am, IMSA, Sportscar, Grand-Am, CART, SCCA and Vintage race outings since its inception.  Roughly 4 miles in length, it is
the longest race circuit in North America, and one of the most challenging."

 


"America's most competitive road course and Ohio's motorsports destination."


"The Monterey Peninsula's love affair with world-class racing traces its beginning to 1950 and the inaugural running of the Pebble Beach Road Races. Those sports car events through the winding roads of the Del Monte Forest became immensely popular and brought prestige, fans and money to the area. But as the cars got faster and the crowds grew larger, it was decided that the race was too big for the open road. Rather than see the event go elsewhere, a group of civic-minded business leaders decided to build a permanent, world-class racing facility."
 


Road Atlanta's "2.54-mile Grand Prix road course features 12 challenging turns, including the famous 'esses' and the tricky Turn 10 complex. The hilly terrain adds an additional degree of difficulty for the competitors, and at the same time providing incredible views for the spectators."
 


Watkins Glen International
"is one of the most historic and demanding tracks in North America, located amidst the rolling hills of the beautiful Finger Lakes region of upstate New York." The track is an all-time favorite among vintage racers, who turn out in record numbers every September for the Vintage Grand Prix."

 


Summit Point - "a challenging 10-turn, two-mile asphalt road racing circuit set in the pastoral Shenandoah Valley, only 70 miles from the Washington, DC metropolitan area. The course combines slow and fast bends, with a 3,000 ft straightaway and considerable vertical relief -- one of the most challenging circuits in the nation."
 


  "In 1968, a twisting 12-turn, 2.52-mile road course and a quarter-mile drag strip were carved into the picturesque rolling hills at the gateway to the Sonoma Wine Country. Since that time, race fans from around the world have been treated to some of the greatest racing
highlights of all time on this unique race track."
 

"In its third decade as one of the foremost events of its kind in the country, the Rolex Vintage Festival at Lime Rock Park showcases unparalleled vintage and historic racing, a remarkable Elite Concours and special exhibits, demonstrations and functions that make eachday an extraordinary experience."


Roebling
Road Raceway

"originally opened in 1959 and is now one of the Southeast's most challenging and fastest tracks. The 2.02-mile asphalt road course consisting of nine turns is located just 20 miles from beautiful historic downtown Savannah, Georgia."


BeaveRun MotorSports ComPlex,
"a purpose-built facility for motorsports racing and testing, is the region's premier destination for car, motorcycle and kart enthusiasts, with over 400 acres of world-class facilities, including three race tracks."
 


Pocono Static Cling DecalPocono Raceway "has long been recognized as one of the most competitive speedways. Pocono's unique 2.5-mile track features three turns, each with its own degree of banking. This combination produces fender-to-fender action in the turns and 200 mph slingshots on the long straights with photo finishes."


"On over 700 acres, conveniently located to Philadelphia, New York and Washington DC, New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP) offers an incredible amount of diverse
and dynamic motorsports attractions."

"Included in just the first phase of this tremendous facility are: 2 world class road courses (Thunderbolt and Lightning); an exclusive motorsports country club known as the Drivers Club; unique trackside Villa homes, and a first class karting facility where anyone can experience the
thrill of motorsports behind the wheel for the first time."

Toly's Ghost by Burt Levy

Toly's Ghost is the long-awaited fourth novel in author/racer Burt "B.S." Levy's celebrated, cult-classic The Last Open Road series, following the further lives, loves, dreams, disappointments, adventures and misadventures of narrator/hero Buddy Palumbo and the rest of the motor-mad gang from Finzio's Sinclair.

As with Levy's other novels, it is the characters as much as the cars that drive the action, all set against the backdrop of a blissfully less politcally correct America of the late-1950s and early-1960s that seems almost unfathomable today. Levy mixes Palumbo's wry, infectious and streetwise sense of humor and winking observations of human nature with carefully researched historical accuracy and a rare, insider's understanding of the world of cars and motor sports.

"In addition to his novels 'The Last Open Road' and 'Montezuma's Ferrari,' Burt Levy writes the 'Pure BS' column that runs in Vintage Motorsport, and is a regular contributor to a number of other magazines. For the uninitiated, Levy comes from the old school of die-hard racing nuts who like their cars to be as fast as somebody else can afford to make them, their on-track battles fought hard but fair, and their beer cold."
