looks like great fun! Thank you Michael G for sharing this.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
Michael,
Thank you for the pictures and story. Don't usually see Model T's on a race track.
Google translator worked pretty well.
Glad that i needn't to translate this - it would take a lot of time
Thank you Michael. From the pictures it looks like the Model Ts were the coolest cars on the day.
The Gaz A was a rebadged Ford Model A right? Did they come out with a B motor?
OT, A few years back I sold a 1913 Waverley electric to a collector in Moscow. This was an original unrestored but running car. I have no idea how they were going to charge the car with their electricity. There seems to be much interest in antique cars in Russia.
just sayn'

Andrew, GAZ A is Ford model A made in Ussr. The exact copy
