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.

Hi Stephen. It is crunch time for my event at Road Atlanta I put up on the events today. Any chance you can put it in Featured events. I will be glad to reciprocate.
Could be some time before this case finishes. Having won the case and given a good judgement, the difficulty is getting the funds out of the company as they have put it into liquidation. I have put in the administrator as I am the largest creditor. Will let you know progress which I hope is soon so that I can get back to racing. Conor
Hi Stephen,
Thanks, Currently I'm looking for work while working on getting my black belt in Kenpo Karate, only five more belts to go. I'm still with LeMay only as a volunteer at the Marymount location in their administration department. And I started a car blog about my experiences learning about classic cars.
How about you, how's racing been going?
Take care!
Amber
Thanks for your good wishes, sadly I wont be at the Festival Of Speed but hope maybe to get to the Revival, court case willing. It is a hell of a mess and not easy to sue a billionaire !
Thanks for the good wishes.
Hi Stephen,
The Automotive History Museum sounds like its going to be a great place. Definitely keep me posted on its status, please.
Would you be willing to send me some more information on the race track's history? I think it would make a great post for my blog.
To answer your question about my vision for my dream job if anything were possible and there were no restraints, I would love to have my own place to teach fitness and self defense while also being a published writer.
Have a great day!
Amber
Jess Neal just took 3rd in the Vintage Class at Pike's Peak. Send him your Congrats to him soon. When he gets home it would be great for a bunch of notes from people in the VRL.
Hi Stephen, I am on the ground floor into trying to get a Vintage Off Road Class for Pike's Peak and trying to get some big name off road drivers involved.
Later this week I hope to talk to Parnilli Jones. I got his cell phone #.
Hope to get him to also join the VRL. Will update you later. Tom Malone
Stephen, thanks for the thoughts. this year was a high water mark for me as I beat my best time by almost a full minute. Had I not spun in the lower dirt section it would surely have been more than a minute better. Thanks again, Jess
This site is awesome, I feel like I might spend more time on here than doing actual work. And I'll let you know relatively soon about the opening gala on November 20. It sounds like a good time and it would be great to get her to come out and open up the gala. I"m going to check out eagle canyon soon too. have a good one
as soon as we get our confirmations we will give you full details on the Irish Festival of Speed. I'll update my site soon.Glad to find this site for sick, old fart, petrolheads....Makes me feel an awful lot better knowing that there are THOSANDS of us..as Arlo said "we could have a revolution".
Hi Stephen , thanks for the welcome. It was a Vintage Racer Colleague here in Texas that pointed me to the CVAR and then I found my way to the main website. I think your getting started piece is exceptional because as a newbie it is a great template for me to become involved in vintage racing. Thanks Again. hope to see you on the track sometime.
My Colleague that suggested vintage racing is Dr Greg Byrne, who is up in the Dallas area. I had the good fortune to meet him last year and he helped to point me in the right direction, although it has taken awhile for me to get started.
Thanks for welcome message Stephen. It is good to be on a site where like minded people appreciate great older cars. The saying "they don't make them like they used to" is even more appropriate to day than ever. Good work on the site and seems very user friendly for us old guys. Thanks again Stephen.
p4 body is getting prepped. Possibly will have a couple of good pics for you soon... Currently out of site. Most of our pics are build pics. No paint or full assembly yet. She runs, she rolls, just not on her own yet. I don't know any other replica that has every panel re-created in aluminum by hand do you? You should come out to Rockwall and see it yourself!
Thanks for the pat on the back Steve. I really like the Ferrari pipes,obviously a running car. Those were the days of beauty in racing. I'm glad you enjoyed the posters and am looking forward to sharing more stuff with you.
Thanks Stephen, Monaco was a great weekend and I was happy to find the source of the 17F photo. This season I'm racing my 25F in Europe with the Dutch Historic Monoposto series, and recommend this to anyone wanting to race on European circuits in an atmosphere of friendly competition (www.monoposto.nl)
Thanks for the warm welcome Stephen.
Keep an eye on the new pics I'm about to post in the next couple of days.
I've got quite some pictures to share...

Hi Stephen, its Patrick overhere in Belgium, happy that you have returned my
mail. glad that you accepted me has a visitor to your racing community.

Hi Stephen,
Great idea to set up a community for vintage sport buffs!
As a suggestion I would add a section in the profile of each member:
Your best moments in (motorpsort)
Where each member could let know other a little bit more about himself as an example: finishing the Monte Carlo Rallye or travelling around the world in a Vintage Bentley
Hi Stephen,
thank you for adding me as a friend.
I'm sure I'll enjoy being part of this community and I hope to be able to give a contribution of some interest.
Ciao

There is only one 330 P 3/4 0846.
There are 4 412P's 0844/0848/0850/0854
There are 2 350 Can AMs 0858 and 0860 (currently bodies with a P 4 body)
There is one P4 0856.
Yeah, Stephen that is me in the EX130...the photo was taken in July 1990. The MG collection was being moved to the British Motor Heritage Museum and was being stored in an industial park awaiting completion of the building. I was doing the Circuit of Britain Tour with the New England MG T Register. Anyone on the tour was welcome to sit in or drive any of the cars around the park. EX130 could not be driven but I did get to drive Old Number One...regarded as the first MG sports car. I suppose it is now impossible to drive it or get close to it..
Thanks mr. Page for requesting me as a friend I hope to go visit your museum with mr. cotten and my class mates and thanks again for coming to visit us at W. H. Adamson. Your friend Jonathan Rodriguez
Hello there! Nice to hear from you! I have always been interested in racing, and as one gets older, somehow the cars you like also gets older (?). I live in Gotland, a small island in the east of Sweden, and my (not so old car) is a Triumph GT6, and my wife drives a Spitfire -63. I would also love to have something older to drive, but right now I just look at the vintage cars. See you!
Great article in the Dallas Morning News. I've long been interested in turning a garage into a movie set. It's your car, it's your garage' it's your dream, you should have it the way you want.
The car in my profile is my 1998 Van Diemen. However, I also rally my Gullwing, a Talbot-Lago and a few others. Also, I just purchased a 1963 Genie Mark VIII (former Pedro Rodriguez/Dan Gurney car).
