SVRA Spring Vintage Festival Gallery

Racing’s glorious past was celebrated during the SVRA Spring Vintage Festival Weekend at Road America, bringing the past back to life with the sights and sounds from motorsport’s pioneering age both on and off the track.

The event included a packed schedule with races featuring cars covering several decades. Many of the entries have previously competed at classic events, including Le Mans and the Indy 500, where they were raced for the honor and glory of a gladiatorial sport.
