For decades, old race cars were forgotten machines – banished to museums and private collections or left covered in dusty garages and even old barns. There was no motivation in keeping them in working order.
The fate of these old race cars changed in August 1974 when Steven Earle encouraged his friends to “race” their cars. A small group of 60 vehicles arrived at the paddock of Monterey County’s 1.9-mile Laguna Seca road course where they were divided into collective groups of type and speed.
