Copperstate 1000
The Copperstate 1000 is one of the premier vintage car road rallies in North America. In 2006 and 2007 I was there to see the cars set off on their journey. The launch is a bit like a Concours de Elegance, except that after the show, you get to see and hear (and smell!) all the cars accelerate away from the venue.
