Hemmings Great Race arrives in Ypsilanti! 1 Saabers Like This Post! Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Thu, 29 Jun 2017 16:50:58 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The weekly Thursday Night "Show What You Drove" car show in Ypsilanti's Depot Town area was replaced tonight with the arrival of the 120+ contestants in the 2017 Hemmings Great Race. This race is a 9-day, 2300 mile, Endurance Rally for classic cars. This year's route is from Jacksonville FL to Traverse City, MI.
Kudos to the Sharks Racing Team of Brian Blood and Steve Keller, both of McLean, VA. They are driving entry #23, a 1969 SAAB 96 Deluxe, the only SAAB I saw in the Rally. There were two 1916 Hudsons entered (fitting, since Ypsilanti is home to the world's last remaining Hudson Dealership) and five JDM cars which were shipped over just for this event and are driven by Japanese teams/owners. All cars must be 1972 or earlier for this year's event.
