By

After a ramp up of practice and qualifying, drivers were met with consecutive race days on Saturday and Sunday at last weekend’s Velocity Invitational. In the mix were a number of exhibitions including Porsche 917 exhibition laps, Ford GTLM reunion laps, McLaren Formula One exhibition laps, and more. Look for a full writeup in the Jan/Feb issue of Vintage Motorsport, but for now enjoy the sights courtesy of Larry Chen and Velocity Invitational.
