From another forum poster with some deducing skill…
It's highly unlikely it was a Toyota Crown, it's far more likely it was one of the Toyota-powered Spec Racer cars owned by the club and being driven by Crown - that piece of information then went through the reblog information muncher. 100 hp and 1500 lbs from what I recall, which is perky.
I hope I'm doing the same thing on my 70th birthday. Well, the driving at the track part.
BTW, this track used to be known as Woody Creek Raceway, it's shoehorned in beside a gravel pit near Woody Creek/Snowmass. Near where Hunter S. Thompson lived. It's a hard one to get track time on because it's a country club track with a VERY high buy-in. I've been on it once, and I remember lots of jokes about "safety boulders". It wasn't known for its runoff and it was about as wide as a kart track. When I was there, we were running clockwise with a chicane on the straight - you can see why they might want to keep top speeds down if you look at the turn at the end of the straight. For scale, that's a 1.1 mile lap. This may be the end of the track, although only the club members would ever notice.

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.
