From vintage Vettes to Formula One cars, Snowmass was turned into a racing venue Thursday as more than 60 classic cars roared around a make-shift route.
It was the first time in nearly 20 years a race of this caliber was in a Colorado mountain town. Thursday’s track went up Lower Carriage Way then down Brush Creek road. The race was delayed a bit by rain in the mid-day but continued without issue.
The Snowmass Motoring Classic Weekend will continue Saturday with the car collections on display at the Snowmass town softball fields from 1:30 to 5 p.m.

Fully aware he was in the midst of the mountain bike race of his life, Aspen’s John Gaston said he “tried to not think too far ahead” to prevent the magnitude of the moment from getting to him. He eventually finished runner-up in the iconic race.
