I always thought they need a classic racing channel on TV and show all the old good stuff.

The javelin pictured above went to auction recently. I saw it at Road America this summer for the BRIC vintage event, it was the Mark Donohue reunion this year.

I don't have any pics of the Javelin my dad runs. I'm usually working during "car night" when they work on it. I'll see what I can do.

Finally got some pics of the Javelin. These were taken at Road America for the Elkhart Lake Vintage Festival Sept. 9-11. Pretty fun stuff.

As long as we are wishing for stuff...I wish American Top Gear was at least 10% as cool as the original.

Here's a pic of the real Donohue car. There might have been more than one he ran but this is one that was Road America when they had the Donohue reunion cars there.
