The Mitty is one of the oldest of the vintage races in the U.S. running for over 40 years and attracting some of the rarest historic race cars from across the country. The Historic Sportscar Racing Mitty at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta features 10 races and non-stop sprints. Races feature everything from nearly every type of sports car from the past 70 years to Stock Cars and open-wheel formula and Indy cars.

This year’s featured marque was Alfa Romeo and a number of the classic Italians were in the paddock as well as the best from MG, Porsche, Austin Healey, Mazda, Chevrolet, Shelby, and many more. Below are a few of my favorite photos from my day at The Mitty.
