Thinking about attending Vintage Days at Mid-Ohio - has anyone here
ever done it?
Would like to hear your experiences.
Thanks - Sean

Swap meet is still worth it, if only to see the crap that
people will try to sell and others will buy. It's huge.
MX is a dim, painfully poor shadow of what it once was.
The AHRMA/AMA split pretty much destroyed it. But you
can be "national champ" if you win your class. Racing
in a gravel parking lot isn't lots of fun though.
The roadrace is smaller but still some cool bikes to see.
Now that Team Obsolete is allowed to attend you might get
to see something really cool - a 5 cylinder 125 Honda GP
bike for instance.
New owners of the track so maybe the track gestapo will
be minimized. Maybe not. They have a deserved reputation
for being arbitrary and heavy handed.
If you need a crash point near Mid-O (1.5 hours) but on the
way east, call.
Go fast. Take chances.
