VIR GOLD CUP HISTORIC RACES
Alton, VA
June 8 - June 10, 2007 |
 |
|
 |
|
The
Gold Cup was
somewhat of a last-minute deal for our four participants this year, with Phil Meany cajoling fellow
racers, Bernard Bradpiece,
Pete Schultz and
Robert Allred to
come out to play. It's a really, really nice event that all seem to enjoy.

Robert Allred
in his '67 Lotus Super 7
(above with
Chuck Golder at his side)
was little short of spectacular on the track,
showing the established
stars what he's made of
and blowing some of them away.
On race day, Robert
came in 2nd overall,
just behind our old friend Jim Netterstrom.
It was a fine podium finish,
but alas, no podium photo!! |
|

Well
done Robert!!!

Pete Schultz
in his Elan
was with Robert all the way, the
Elan having never gone quicker
or handled better.
That is, until the car mysteriously died in the qualifying race whilst
holding 4th place.
This relegated him to starting the feature
race in last place -- in a field of some 40 cars. |

By the drop of the checker,
Pete
had worked his way up through the field of 40 to 9th overall.
A super,
strong drive. Nicely done, Pete!

Bernard Bradpiece
was doing his own thing this weekend, but apparently continued his trend
of picking up seconds on his times from last year -- everywhere he goes I
believe. Another satisfying weekend in the Merlyn F/F at 3rd overall and
1st in class!

Meany at HSR Sebring 3-07![]()

Phil Meany really got a handle on the
Gropa Chevron
this weekend,
after his first event with it at Sebring
(pictured above).
He's got has hands on a real race car now
that handles, goes, stops -- no compromises.
|
 |

Phil
really drove the Gropa
well, as could be
seen by his keeping Lee Brahin honest
in a much quicker and newer Lola.
|

 |
|

Way to go!
