I just learned where cool race cars go to win Concours and hang out in a museum I've never heard of before, but I've seen some of their cars before! Canepa Motorsports Museum near Santa Cruz
Posted by Unknown at 8:33 PMthere are 25 cars and 10 motorcycles,
and so far they've won the following 7 first place trophies in just the last 2 years
1972 Porsche 917-10 – Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance
1962 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster – Palo Alto Concours
1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing – Hillsborough Concours
1969 Porsche 917-K – Marin Sonoma Concours d'Elegance
1967 Cobra 427 – Beverly Hills Concours
1970 Lola T70 Mk3B Can Am – Hillsborough Concours
1983 Lancia LC2 Prototype – San Francisco Presidio Concours
for the website tour http://www.canepa.com/collection/tour.html
Bruce Canepa'd first car was a 29 Model A, and he's raced IMSA and Trans Am circuits, and the Daytona 24 hours with Bobby Rahal and Rick Mears. He also has had a huge success at Pikes Peak, setting the course record in 2000 and 2001, and ran a race truck up in 2002 setting a tandem axle record of 13:57, breaking the previous 13:59... and he still holds the record now.
Good video!
