I bought a 1966 basket case MG Midget and built it to race with SVRA, HSR and VDCA. I have had the pleasure of racing at Bridgehampton, Roebling Road, Sebring, Summit Point, Road America, Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen, Mid-Ohio, Hallet, VIR, Barber, New Jersey, Lime Rock, and South Carolina race tracks. I attended driving school at Road Atlanta in a Nissan 300z and then was a co-driver in the 1999 SCCA 24- hour race at Moroso in the same car.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through the years I have raced my MG Midget as well as co-driven in Morris Minor, Mini Cooper, Formula Fords, BMW 2002, MGB, Triumph spitfire and Nissan 300Z.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I started Vintage racing in 1996 and was &#8216;Most Improved Driver of the Year&#8217; in 1998 and &#8216;Driver of the Year&#8217; with SVRA in 2006. The people and the racing are the best, and I hope to continue to enjoy this sport.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jack Cassinghan &#8211; Sherrills Ford, NC &#8220;I got hooked on vintage racing after attending a Skip Barber Racing School in 1988 with formula Fords and then co-driving with a friend in his Morris Minor with SVRA.
