A rainy Saturday in Alabama

Like we said in our earlier post, magiccitymotoring.org has been busy with our move, but we are top of the car show scene and have attempted to make two shows so far this rainy Saturday. We hit the Starbucks bright and early at 8:30 to see which members of MOB Inc. were going to brave the weather. Well no one showed, I guess Starbucks was the only place it was not raining in the Birmingham area. So we raced off to the next event the SCCA/Historics in the Park at Barber Motorsports. Even with a steady rain about 20 brave souls made it to Barber in the collector cars including a very courageous man in his 1961 Ferrari 250 GTE. arrangements had been made for persons with a Barber tag to be able to do a track lap over the lunch hour and with the rain turn out was surprisingly large so roughly 30-40 cars took to the track to run a total of 3 full wet laps. (We were tucked in behind an experienced driver from the PCA and were taking notes.) Overall it wasn't a bad day with the previously mentioned Ferrari taking Best in Show and winning in addition to the glass trophy 2 3 day passes to next April's Alabama Grand Prix.

Best in show P. Bush with his 1961 Ferrari 250 GTE
