VINTAGE RACER EXPOSITIONS
“Experience
The History of Speed”
Do
you own a vintage racer or know of some nostaligic gems in
your area? They could be of the four-wheeled, two-wheeled
or even two-legged variety. Chances are, you do!
Well, regardless of the specific discipline associated with
these vintage racers, there are always unique stories
behind them. Stories just waiting to be collected,
organized and shared with an appreciative audience anxious
to learn more about these historical speed machines.
That’s what
VINTAGE RACER EXPOSITIONS
is all about: the creation of choreographed events designed
to highlight the history of vintage racers on a local,
regional—even national—level.
For the past 15 years, I’ve been the proud owner of
the “Magicar,” a double-A fuel dragster
restored from near ruin. In that time, I’ve seen
thousands of people gather to pay homage to vintage racers.
And, all too often, these very people who are thirsty for
knowledge, must be satisfied with a plaque that barely
scratches the surface of a racing vehicle's history.
Sometimes a racer will be started for a moment, but
invariably fans will arrive too late to witness the flames
and spectacle. Pretty disappointing.
At
VINTAGE RACER EXPOSITIONS,
our goal is to present each of the featured racers to the
crowd, one by one, in all their glory. Fascinated fans
encircle the “arena” as they learn about each
of the vintage racers and their histories. And, if
possible, that racer will be fired up, allowing those
present to fill their senses with its unique sights and
sounds. Other elements can be added to the show, including
lighting, sound systems and big screen video presentations
that bring the mood of the chosen era to life.
All of these components combine to create a truly
unforgettable event that will bring audiences back again
and again. But it must all begin with you and those vintage
racers you have in mind. They don’t need to be museum
pieces either—just racers with a tale to tell.
