I just got back from the 4th nostalgia goodguys event in Bowling Green, KY. After seeing the autocross in person, I have mad respect for the level at which these cars compete. They are the complete package of braking, handling, and acceleration. Theses cars are constantly pushed to and past the limits and it is an amazing sight. Words just don't justify the experience, and I encourage everyone to attend an autocross event.

101Airborne that's a gorgeous '69. I love the color, wheel/tire combination, and side pipes.
