    Great event with about 120 cars. Limited for the most part to 75 and earlier. Four days of twisty back roads, open vistas, great cars and people.
    An incredible Iso Grifo 427 was also entered and he and I had a few good runs together.

    Very sharp car, it looks too nice to be an old BP racer.

    American Racing torque-thrust D mags? and no front bumpers add to the period look. All you need is three tail lights in the back on each side like Bob Wingate had!

    never heard of a 427 in an ISO. Only 327's that one must be a beast.

    Thanks, it was a blast! Drove the Corvette about 1200 miles. The 427 ISO was indeed a beast. The owner took delivery at the event. It was a Pebble Beach level car that he had no problem flogging. He applied some type of plastic shielding up front and went at it. I was shocked at how well it handled.
    Plenty of very cool cars.
