The Vintage Racing League is the leading online community for people who love racing and cars. Its free to join.
Members connect with people that share a love of specific marques or types of cars (e.g. Vintage, Historic, Classic, Antique,Formula Ford, Can-Am, Trans-Am, GT and/or Historic Formula One cars).
The VRL helps members find difficult to locate parts, restoration resources, race events and car clubs in your area.
You can exchange pictures and race videos and find "same car soulmates".
I look forward to seeing some of your vintage race video's.
FYI - I'm the co-founder of The Vintage Racing League.
I owned and raced a 1975 Crossle Formula Ford. I currently own and race a 1980 March Formula Atlantic and intend to rebuild and race a 1977 Shadow DN8 F1 car.
I race with CVAR in the Southwest.
I live in Dallas.
VRL Factoids:
An estimated 4 million people in the USA own Vintage, Historic, Classic and Antique cars (10 million world-wide).
The USA is home to 79 million Baby Boomers. Every day, 50,000 retire.
There are 27 Vintage Race Clubs in the US that stage an estimated 170 events per year.
Today, approximately 30,000 members in the 27 Clubs race Vintage cars.
We want to get more people into Vintage racing and a primary purpose of this site is dedicated to that goal.
Even if people do not race, they are welcome to attend events and learn more about the compelling nature of motorsports and it's history..
About: WWW.THEVRL.COM
We created a place where owners and lovers of vintage, historic, classic and antique cars could find each other, exchange pictures, videos and information about how to fix, restore, and race cars.
Ask your friends to join the Vintage Racing League @ www.thevrl.com.
Feel free to create new groups, post pictures for us all to share and share the site with your friends.
Welcome to the Vintage Racing League.
Warmest regards - Stephen Page
Chairman & CEO
What car(s) do you own?
1977 Shadow F1 DN8 (in restoration), 1980 March Formula Atlantic, my first car - a 1954 Jensen Interceptor, 1981 Kougar Sports Car, MB ML 500, MB 500S. Previously owned and raced a 1975 Crossle Formula Ford.
What do you like to do (e.g. vintage race with...)?
Race with CVAR in the Southwest.
Attend as many Vintage, Historic and Concours events as possible each year, to include the Monterey Historics, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and the Goodwood Revival.
What would you like to do (e.g. go to race school; get into Vintage Racing)?
Improve my Vintage and Historic racing skills. Share the unique history, passion and excitement of vintage/historic racing via the VRL and expose as many people as possible to the sport.
Thank you so much. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with everyone. My mom loved the sit by the way. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving also!! The site is getting very busy!!
Sorry Stephen, the motor is on the stand for a refresh I'm afraid. It looks like a real nice track. Just hope we can get 'High Plains' up & running next year.
A rental video rig at the track sounds like a great idea. If I weren't already video-equipped I would certainly consider it. To sweeten the pot you might consider editing services as part of the package, or as an add-on.
I would think something like $125-$175 for a three-day weekend rental would be appropriate (without editing), but my middle name is "budget" so I may not be the best person to ask.
After I posted a picture of my TR6, you ask what vintage org. I race with. At the present time, my activities are all devoted to SCCA Solo as I am the incoming Solo Chair for New England Region. I do try to get to Vintage Triumph Register events (I've been to 8 VTR Nationals and a bunch of regionals) and I try to attend the annual Friends of Triumph get-togethers when it's physically possible.
So - I don't currently run with a vintage group, but my car is "real vintage". It's got webers, so I'd be running with the C Prod folks if I ran vintage. Having had very little track experience, C Prod is probably not a good place to start.
Thank you for the welcome. Email technology is not something I learn easily. It is a plus for the design of the site that I have progressed to this point. You are to be commented; successfully logged in tonight is a "victory".
I race with SVRA and VSCDA. I race only 3 events annually, down from 6 a few years ago. Children of college age made the scale back the thing to do 5 years ago. One has graduated and plans are to run a "extra" race in the near future.
The road trip the Glen maybe the first step in an expanded scheduled.
My meeting with Olgivey looks to be in late January. Wish me luck. I bought you a replica of a vintage race car for your shelve until I make a cozillion dollars and can offord to get you the real thing. Where do I send it. Unfortunately every time I see this kind of stuff you might have to find a place for it in your garage.
Stephen:
Congratulations on the VRL website. It looks fantastic, and will provide a great service and resource to the vintage racing community. We enjoyed meeting you and spending the weekend racing with you at Hallett.
Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
Brian Findley
Lord Page,
It's and honour to join this auspisioius group. glad to have crossed your path agian at TWS last month, and hope that you'l get out west at some point. Bring cigars! and cars...
Hello Stephen; Many thanks for the 'hello'. Wish I had time to tour the site but for now time is short. I'll send invites to a few of the diehard MG vintage racers...CM
How do I add a logo to the Metcalf Racing Group banner on the VRL site? Do you have to do that since you started the group or is there a way I can do it?
Thanks Mr. Page,
I had the pleasure of meeting you about a year ago at TWS. You won't remember me, but you will remember the day as there was a large opening in the side of your BD Cosworth. I have updated my profile. Thanks again.

Hi Stephen, Thank you for the welcome to VRL. It is a great idea . I hope it becomes a nationwide forum for vintage racers to communicate and share ideas. I'll try to look you up at Hallett when I'm there. Take Care.
I had not heard from you in so long I was begining to get concerned. I thought the F-1 race sequence posted you posted on Dec 3rd is the most thrilling 2 laps of racing I have ever seen. Please give a call if there is anything I can do to assist you in any way. You are a class act. Best regards, Joe Westervelt, Trainee.
I inadvertantly killed my original page this am and took all content with it ~40 pics and 2 movies.
Can anybody recover that for me or do I have to start over?
Stephen, Thank you for your welcome.
By coincidence I live in Wallington, just around the corner from Kingston.My work allows me to to operate from home much of the time visiting the Lola Factory one or two days a week. You must get in touch when you are in the UK as it will be a pleasure to show you around the works.
This year Lola is celebrating 50 years as the worlds largest manufacturer of racing cars and we intend to have anniversary events in the UK and USA. Perhaps you will be able to join us at one or more. Full details will be posted shortly on the Lola Heritage website at www.lolaheritage.co.uk Thank you again for the welcome and please keep in touch.
Stephen, There are legal issues in the UK over sharing information held electronically. As the ownership registers on the website fall under the aegis of that legislation I cannot do so. There are ways around that and if you contact me at ; glynjones@lolacars.com I shall be happy to advise you further.
I already visited your website and created my profile. It was a pleasure meeting you last week in Dallas.
I hope you can visit us in Spain one day. I will send your link to all my friends interested in vintage cars. Let’s keep in touch. Best regards
Stephen,
I have been traveling a lot and have not called. Still busy at work and playing with my antique motorcycles. Having lunch with your brother-in-law, John Carnes today.
Stephen, you said in your comment 'Dear Peter'. Did you mean 'Dear Nick?'. If your comment was about my dog, thanks. He's getting on a bit - almost 13 - but a big part of my racing life which is why I posted him. I need to get a shot of him wearing his checkered flag scarf!
Hi Stephen - It is really great to hear from you. I have been bugging Kenny for years to get involved in a racing program. I have a little Crossle 35 that I wanted him to try. I also have a Swift DB4 that I have raced in SCCA and a little in HSR. Right now it is short of an engine.
I am looking forward to meeting you. I think there are a lot of opportunities for us in this program.
Hope to see you when you get back.
Tom
