VERY COOL.
The guy with the old BMW 535 at TD's went up there this summer and was telling me about that annual parade. Looks like a road trip someday. I challenge you to I'd all those cars. I got to the yellow Cheetah but it was loading too slow so I quit for now. How did you like the Bob Sharp Z?

That's an awesome Video. They used to do stuff like that over by the speedway during racetime back in the day. Shame things have changed so much over there.

That was the first Cheetah I've seen outside of ads you see in Grassroots Motorsports. Would have perferred to see in real-life. The portions look so...odd. Not sure if that's the right word.
Loved the Bob Sharp Z & the Datsun 510s. There's a guy out of MI that built a replica of the BRE Z, so curious if that was him. You can easily order up BRE spoilers and such for the 1st gens. Even making them in carbon fiber now. Now the actual engine parts, those are much more difficult to locate.
I really loved the open wheel cars. Time to get back down to the IMS Museum for another gander at their collection.
Loved the marque parades thru Indy that IMS did for the USGP, going to miss those. Hope they add them to the 500 in 2008.

That is a great idea. Pass it on to the Speedway office. Call Laura Thompson, she was in charge of organizing those cruises for F1.

SMS - I sent Laura an email. I'll pass along what I hear.
Depending on the weekend, several of us Z folks will be at the Tail of the Dragon in May for a HUGE Z meet.
Also...Just got word today that our Regional Z Meet is moving from Brown County to Chicago for June 2008. If you want to see us this time, we'll be driving the Autobahn Country Club! In Sept, we'll be driving Mid-Ohio as part of the Z Nationals. Tracks are already booked.

I need to see one live to figure out the lines. Looks like the driver sits pretty much centered. I don't see a passenger fitting in. Am I wrong? Cockpit looks really tight.

I got the Corvettes, Camaros, Porsches but that's about it. Nice video!
