Vintage Motorsport, the Journal of Motor Racing History, celebrates racing’s glorious past with in-depth and painstakingly researched articles on the brave drivers, unwieldy machines and challenging circuits and tracks that have given motorsport a century’s worth of rich heritage. From the dirt bullrings and road courses to Daytona’s high banks, we cover it all. In addition, Vintage Motorsport takes the reader behind the scenes of the top contemporary Vintage racing events from coast-to-coast at places like Monterey, Indianapolis and Lime Rock, and to classic international events like Goodwood, Monaco and Le Mans for a reintroduction to the cars and living legends who have made the sport so special. Along the way Vintage rally and concours events also grace our pages with mouth-watering destinations and the world’s best historic racers.

Linsay's Tavern


The nascent sports car camaraderie of the ’50s and ‘60s created gathering spots for those who shared the passion. Linsay’s Tavern in Ohio was one such place, where for nearly two decades gearheads were welcomed with open arms. Back in the early days of the sports car scene, during the 1950s and ’60s, many cities had a sports car hangout where enthusiasts could get together and talk about last weekend’s race, the new Austin-Healey, how to overhaul an SU carb and other vital information. In Detroit, it was Little Harry’s, a bar in a nice old brick building near the shore of Lake St. Clair. In Chicago, it was Rick Ricardo’s bar on Rush Street downtown. In Indianapolis it was the White Front Bar, near the Speedway. In Manhattan it was Le Chanteclair at 18 E. 49th St., owned by GP driver Rene Dreyfus. On Long Island it was Dick Ridgely’s bar in Watermill; in Pittsburgh it was the Clock Restaurant in Oakland. There was the Grand Prix Restaurant in Los Angeles and in Cleveland, it was Linsay’s Tavern.
