Here are some videos of some of the other groups that I didn't photograph.  The groups with pics posted earlier have had video links added, so if you haven't seen those, you might like to go back and review those posts above.  There are mostly pretty short, but there are a couple of longer videos in Groups 8 & 9.  No Group 1 - the really old pre-WWII stuff.  I got into the stands just as that race was finishing.  You can see a few photos from earlier years above.

Group 2 - 1956-62 Production Sports Cars - lots of Porsche 356s, a few early Corvettes (there have been more in previous years),  some Morgan +4's and a '57 Thunderbird convertible.  There's a wide variety of speed here.

Group 3 - 1947-55 Sports and Racing Cars - Allard J2X, Kurtis 500S, Austin-Healeys, some early Maseratis and Ferraris, Jaguar C-types, other purpose built racers.  Forgive me for the glare at the beginning - I didn't give the camera a chance to adjust focus or color-balance before I started shooting.

Group 4 - 1962-65 Sports Racing Cars - this and Group 5 below were the classic sports racers from the time when road-racing was more popular in the US than it is today.  Many of these cars were built by a couple of guys in a garage, but there are some better known names - Lotus 23B, Bobsy SR-3, Webster Special (V8 car leading at the beginning of the second video).

Group 5 - 1955-60 Sports Racing Cars - Lotus 11, Ferrari 250R, Lister-Jaguar, Aston-Martin, several home-built "Specials."  The picture of my son sitting in the 1959 Hustler is one of these - that guy (Andy Leonard) wasn't here this year.
