Something new for Scottsdale, the first ever Grand Prix race with vintage racing carts. They closed off several streets in Old Town Scottsdale to set up a race track and the sponsored carts plowed through the course.
The event was the brainchild of Andrew Bracanovich and Napoleon Smith III. Bracanovich is co-founder of the Mesa-based Vintage Car Company and Smith is the executive producer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Smith brought is famous turtles with him and they were certainly a hit with all the youngsters in the crowd.
I enjoyed watching the cars race around the track.
But, someone should tell this guy he shouldn't be watching the movie screen while he's driving.

Looks like a fantastic day!
Fun for boys of all ages. ;-)
I thought they were soapbox cars but they look to have engines in, awesome
Oh you made me laugh out loud with that last comment Sharon, I was just thinking the same thing :) I'm guessing these old beauties don't travel all THAT fast right?
Now that is something I would really enjoy! Those vintage cars are amazing. I hope none of them got banged up. After looking at that last photo I've got to ask: Were any of the drivers texting while driving? :)
How fun! Something really unusual! I do remember the 1989 Formula One race in Phoenix and all the problems due to the effect of the heat on the tires...
I love your last picture the most followed by the one of the Ninja Turtles!
That looks like such fun, Sharon!
I would really like to see this!
