Neat stuff, Steve.
But too bad there's a need for it at all (it would be neat if they still had some of these old street circuits, but I guess that's too much to hope for).
I was active in a group to save the old Bridghampton race track (my first lap there was in '69). The group is still active, but since the track is now a golf course, there's not really much to save.
I am also active with a group that works to preserve old airports. They are still building new road racing tracks (NJ just got one, so did NY and there's one in the works for PA and MASS). But nobody builds new, small airports.
Dale:
Will your friend with the SP250 be attending the Jefferson 500 at Summit Point? It's coming up on May 1st - 3rd.
Also, if he's looking to get a vintage race license, the annual VRG race school is coming up at the Vintage Celebration at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on May 15th - 17th.
You do not need a vintage race car for the race school (someone did it in a Spec-Miata last year).
If he needs more info or has questions, let me know.
