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.

Hi Stephen, local to Santa Ana, Ca is the Fontana raceway, San Diego Stadium for auto cross and Willow Springs raceway. Monterey is scheduled for next year due to Porsche being the marque manufacturer.
Thanks again Steven. Just to let you fellows know a good ffriend of the family Laurence Brownlie ex recer of the sixties is painting pics of the famous drivers of the past please visit and maybe you even know him cheers and keep up the good work www.laurencebrownlie.com
Great site. Especially liked the old footage of the McLarens etc. Being a kiwi I have a soft spot them and of course the guys that drove them. My brother who still lives in New Zealand races a Reynard Formula Foed and one of his close friends (Walt) was Bruce McLaren's mechanic for many years and traveled with him all over the world. I remeber as a kid watching Jim Clark, Denny Hulme, Graham Hill, Yocken Rindt (?), Pedro Rodriquez and many more run at our home track Teretonga. What days those were. Anyway, thanks for the invite and I can see this will be fun to be a member of.

Hello Stephen. I have tried to start a blog, but not getting anywhere. CAN YOU HELP. I am trying to trace a series made for TV called A - Z of Motorsport. There are 114 episodes in the series, each of 24 minute duration. The two I have see on Botswana TV are Sir Henry (Tim) Birkin and another on the Lotus 16 and Lotus 18. Great footage and interviews. Have you heard of or seen this series. Regards Roger.
hi stephen ... thank you for the perfect idea to make these community .. i will post in the next days some more race pics and lookes forward to have a look to the other brabham owners
Thanks Stephen, and as time allows, I'll try to do more customization and add some photos out of my archives as well that might be of interest to others.
Marshall
many thanks.
I have joined to offer your member the oppurtunity to source some very rare and unusual cars from japan. We have garages there and in the Uk but we also ship worldwide. It is often the case people hear or know of cars in difficult places to access or may possibly be unsure or not confident to buy blind from foreign shores. We remove all that uncertanty.
We have access to Porsche 356 and 550 replicas as well as all Japanese and many European classics. If anyone is interested we are always here and always offer our help. Take a moment to explore our website, it is very large and this represents only a small fraction of whats available,
Stephen, I just uploaded an edited version of Jeff's Sunday race from two weeks ago. Let me know what you think. And kudos to your webmaster - your site is great!!!!!
thanks for the invitation. You might have seen on www.classiche-sportive.com that I am producing state of the art vintage calendars. The topic for 2009 are historic motorsport events for which we recreated posters in the style of the time.
Do you see any possibility of presenting this caledar to the members of this forum?

Hi All, Glad to be invited to such a great combination of car nuts. We all love old racing cars and what a fantastic way to share that love. Designing, prototyping, testing, producing and racing wonderful cars over the years has brought us all together one way or another. Looking forward to meeting all of you sometime.
The photo of Frank Campbell standing in the cockpit of his Elva, taken at the 1958 RA 500, shows a side fuel filler, and was the main clue to his one time ownership of the car. Berdie Martine wrote to tell me he owned the car the '57 and sold it to Campbell. Love the history of these old racecars..... Bob
Hi Stephen!
Thank you for your invitation: this website is great!!

Carlo
I was wondering if you know if there is a way to post photos and/or albums to Group pages that we create? I know we can put photos in discusion forums, etc. but what I would like to do is to have a collection of photo albums under that particular Group for the group members to post to. I think it would make things a little easier to keep track of in these Group forums.
