Frank,
If you thought Loudon was awesome you absolutely need to see the June
Sprints
at Road America, Elkhart lake, WI.  The Formula Atlantics literally come
flying up
to turn five at 160 to 170 mph, they start braking well past the 2 marker,
the cars have
about the best brakes you've ever seen short of Formula One or Champ cars,
and the sound
from those double overhead cam 4 valve per cylinder engines is just
fantastic.  The V-8
powered GT-1 cars are so cool to watch that my spine tingles. Those guys
driving these
SCCA race cars are having so much fun you could see the smiles on their
faces right
through their full face helmets.

At one SCCA event I attended at Road America I saw a 70 Javelin Trans AM
clone, never did
get a chance to talk to the owner. Never saw the car again either.
