Hello from Canada
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!
"When all else fails, force prevails!" Ummm, we're gonna need a bigger hammer here.
