Leon, you are so correct and our concept of holding an annual Historic/Vintage convention is coming together and we want RacersReunion to head up this event by doing what they do best. AIRPS will provide a modern air conditioned facility at a former racing facility that is being developed into a public park. The car show and vintage race car display is coming together and we have over 300 acres of public access to offer. Plus the AIRPS members are doing a wonderful job getting the word out.Lets go "Vintage Racing Boys"!
