Two more lovelies joined the paddock club today: Richard's Cooper T79 and Marc Tyler's McLaren M5A. I have to admit that I am having a very hard time focusing on completing my Brabham when there are such works of art arriving in the mail!

Stewart,
I see by your listing on page one of this thread that my M5A has arrived in time for the festivities, so my main goal has been met. First and foremost, ya gotta show up!
Despite all the imputations You know, you could just go out And dance to a rock'n'roll station...

That's right, Val. Your McLaren has found its place in the paddock. I was hoping one or two more might arrive today, but I expect they will turn up in a day or two.

#36 has cleared customs in Toronto midday. Combien de temps faut-il pour passer le voyage de Toronto à Montréal?

EM, one or two days by mail, 5 hours by car, 375 years of history.

EM's Eagle arrived today. That make three of them on the grid. I believe that exceeds the Eagle count in any actual GP in the period.

So deadline is through. What will happen to late arrivals? I guess there will be a certain tolerance. Sorry for asking dumb questions. This is my first proxy race. Best regards, Thomas

Only penalties for late arrivals are points lost from missed races.
First race scheduled at Mesa Roja in 2 weeks, weekend of September 9/10. Before that: Tech Inspection, photography sessions, Concours judging, Qualifying session.

David's Ferrari is finally in da house after a worrisomely long journey from the UK. Sighs of relief on both sides of the pond! So that's all the distant entries arrived, those that are coming anyway. Only the local entries to pick up now. Once upon a time, Andi Rowland commented on the very positive initial response to this proxy. Twenty-seven builders put their names forward expressing a desire to enter a car. Twenty of them paid the entry fee when that was due. Since then, we have lost several more. The attrition rate has been even higher than I have seen in my years running the VRAA proxy. Nevertheless, it looks like we will have a starting grid of 14 or 15 cars for the event. And the level of craftsmanship, dare I say the artistry, is the highest I have ever experienced. Thank you, gentlemen. I hope we can put on a show worthy of your remarkable efforts.

Hi Stewart
That is a relief. I wonder where the 312 has been, nearly 3 weeks crossing the Atlantic seems a very long time! I think the quality and inventiveness, and yes artistry, of the entries more than makes up for the attrition. I think its going to be a great series and fully worthy of the events it is celebrating.
Best Regards
David

Question... Does one get points for having met their selected driver or for being a forum rookie? I figure I will need all I can get after seeing some of the participating entries...
