Hello from Canada

Post by 70GT2roadster »

Hello from Canada. I have a 70’ roadster that was made directly for road racing back in the early 70’s. It has had a long rest (1983) and recently I have brought it back to life. My father turns 75 this year and it’s kind of a birthday present to get him out for a few laps in August at a large vintage race car weekend up here in gimli, Manitoba, Canada. Looking forward to discussing many things 😃

Welcome! Post lots of pictures. You'll find some great advice here.
Spent many summers at the family farm just North of Gimli. It's a nice spot on the lake.

I remember that Corner 1 and 3 was a hoot on that track. Lots of run offs on 1.
Nice to hear that a roadster is returning to campaign there.

Welcome, great goal for a timeline and motivator to get it done!
