How much do you know about the Spring Classic?
The Spring Classic is a vintage car race show that started in 2013 and became immensely successful. It features vintage cars over 20 years of age, and included venues related to motorsport and its history. The organizers of the event prepare routes, considering the condition of the roads of the selected location. All participants are provided with Route Book that has information on all routs for the whole event. However, if participants want to deviate from the routs or schedule, they are free to do so.
Mazda Laguna Seca – the right place for car race
The Spring Classic takes place at Mazda Laguna Seca. The place is considered to be an integral part of the Monterey area because it has a great internationally-storied racing circuit. It might come as a surprise but the place does not use investment capital to improve its facility. Everything is done at the cost of those, who benefit from improving local facilities. Thus, the place is the best place to organize the Classic Spring show – the vintage car weekend – and invite real car fans.Participants of the Spring Classic
Spring Classic is the opportunity to see unique race cars over one weekend. One of the most interesting participants is 1966-1972 Trans-Am 2.5 Liter. The Trans-Am Series was designed in 1966 by the Sports Car Club of America. The company was also known as the “Trans-American Sedan Championship”. With time the series changed name several times. Some names were somehow connected with sponsors, some – not. It is worth noting that in 2017 one of the most well-known and reputable tyre brands Pirelli became exclusive supplier of Trans Am Series. The tyre manufacturer also became racing sponsor. Change to Pirelli P Zero tyres has beneficially influenced speeds and lap times. Among other race groups that will take part in the show, you can see Formula Atlantic, Formula B and Formula C, Stock cars, Formula Ford, Can-AM, etc.

Steve Gibbs, who is the producer of Nitro Revival show, says that Nitro Revival is a unconventional car show. Unique vehicles are gathered from all over America and Canada to mark the day with drag racing. Laguna Seca is believed to be the best place to organize Nitro Revival and show it at its best. There is no need to say that the show will add a special race element to Spring Classic show in general. The history of drag racing is rich and vivid.
