Not sure if they will be there this year..but you can look up..Al and Gail Phillips who run a modified sprite. Gail owns the speed record in that car here in the U.S and in Australia and is a member of the 200 MPH club. She one of a handful of women in that elite club.

Al is a long time Corvette guy and has owned some very interesting cars.

Great people.

Thanks Joe! I will look them up. Dale knows of a 90 year old who will be running there.

Does anyone remember Barry Bock (sp), a Michigan school teacher who ran a new 396 coupe there? It was in Corvette News a few decades ago. Anyone know where the car is today?

I remember the Corvette News article. I had a very fast ride in a '65 396 in about 1966, and that article confirms how fast a '65 396 can go!
