Austria's Ennstal Classic is unique on the international motoring calendar. Unlike most oldtimer events, it isn't a single race or show but rather a combination hill-climb, night race, street Grand Prix and classic car show all in one.

By all accounts, the 2001 U.S. Grand Prix was a success. Huge crowds turned up an d mercifully there were no tragedies of any kind. The race itself was interesting and, while it may seem strange to Ferraristi, the right man won even though he was driving a McLaren.

Jim Volkert


Long-time Ferrari Collector Skeets Dunn is known in Southern California for the wonderful car parties he and his wife Sharon threw when they owned Bing Crosby's Osuna Ranch.
A few years ago, the Dunns bought an unfinished house in Rancho Santa Fe, California that had the potential to outdo even Crosby's digs where car accommodations were concerned.
