Default Re: It's not the Gateway Center...

You're right. Bob Riggle was there again this year with the Hurst Hemi Under Glass '66 Cuda. Spent about half an hour talking to him about the car and vintage racing. He's a super ambassador for the sport. This year he kept the car on the pavement and left with it undamaged. He was clearly the crowd favorite, along with the driver of BMW's 1998 Le Mans winning prototype that basically smoked the tires the whole way up the driveway, Jenson Button driving this year's BAR Honda F1 car in controlled doughnuts and some lunatic on a Norton endurance racing motorcycle that either had the rear wheel lit up or the front one off the ground the whole way up the hill!! I'll see if I can post a picture tonight of Riggle's car in front of the house.

They've put out a limited edition DVD of the highlights of the first 10 years of the Festival that I picked up this weekend that should be a good spectacle.
