“Must be in the front row!”
It’s Sunday, the day before the start of the California Mille. Jack and I arrived to learn we have roundel #1, because we will be driving the oldest car in this year’s event. We beat the 1928 Bugatti by one year! Of the 70 cars which participated in the 2013 California Mille, only the first 6 were pre-war cars. Stay posted for some other interesting stats on the distribution of cars after the event. For more information, you may wish to check out:
