In the 1970s at San Jose Speedway, San Jose CA, quarter mile paved oval. May or July, as part of the super modified races, they hosted "Little Indy" 50 laps of Model T race. Saw a car front wheel crush under the turn g forces, nearly overturned. Each annual June, Santa Clara Valley Model T Ford Club has a speedster Endurance Race, and Lowland Tour. Always great fun, and a different (unknown) route until arriving at the starting line. Although due to these Covid times, no race in 2020, only small turnout this year, the 52nd! Always brings out other unique, antique cars for the Lowland tour. Many absolutely original, a bit crusty, but well running.
This is a small world. I came across your channel a fortnight ago, when You Tube recommended one of your episodes after I had been watching the Cold War Motors website (also Edmonton, Alberta based). At 0:49 you are parking your ambulance behind one of CWM's vehicles, the 1940s green Fraser sedan! A coincidence or do you know these guys? I have been watching some back episodes on your channel -old cars, petrol station memorabilia, old bikes, collectables, road trips -what's not to like? The episodes are all of a high standard and very watchable -keep them coming!
What happened to your model T racer, previously the mini racer. I have not found any thing about it since you sent it out for body work. Did you find it on this trip?
-Love these old car's and the guys that spend years in fixing them to the way they use to look back in the good old days. These people are very special and have a lot to be proud of. Plus it would be nice if these old timers would pass these skills down to one or two members of there family. Keep the tradition going.
I have to give you credit, I have watched some of your videos and whoever puts them together does a great job. I am a fellow Albertan and it is strange to see familiar sights in the background. In one video you were cruising down the Whitemud and I knew exactly where you were. Keep up the great work and are you hiring?
Is there a version of this video with out the music? I would love to hear the exhaust notes of those model T's with period high performance exhaust and other modes.
I own a 1926 model t coupe. Sometimes on long tours someone will bring up the far rear in a TT tow truck we like to call "the vulture wagon." Fortunately it rarely gets used.

+Shawn Adams thanks Shawn!
At 2:01 I thought you were laughing at the little bloke.
So is this the race you were planning to do? Cool event when is it
In August, going to be tight!
Can you please leave out the music? It's good music but I like to hear the cars as well
That yellow car visible at 0:51 do you know what car it is?
It could be a Opel Rekord C Coupe
WOW
Where is this race id like to join in on the fun
Enjoyable video, you do good work. I recognized a car from coldwarmotors channel, must be in your area. Worth checking out.
+NZ Salt Flats Racer thanks so much! Maybe I'll be on the track myself next year :)
Why is it everytime there is a farm setting people feel the need to edit banjo music in the video?
Music drowning out the cars
-Never fails. Ruins a good video.
