Day before yesterday I saw a very cool old Shelby GT 350, with a cage, hood and trunk pins in the doctor's parking lot. Had license plates on it, so I did not think anything beyond, "Wow, that is groovy." One of the surgeons hops in and fires it up, no way that exhaust was street legal. He was very gentle on the gas while he was on the surface streets, did not set off any car alarms. I could hear him from three blocks away when he put his foot in it getting on the freeway.

Video is a great idea, I would probably have a loop made of vintage racing mixed with modern racing and provide a CD to our customers. Most people have laptops these days so it might just work as part of the in-store display. And yes, the car will have to be started and run for a bit. Visceral.
Thanks Toby, good ideas. By the time this is fully fleshed out, Race Days could be as good, or better, than the Dolls4Dreams(TM) events.
June is probably realistic for our first event, most likely at The Red Wagon here in Boston.
