Tenth Annual Turkey Bowl is a long-standing traditional end to the vintage racing season. Hosted by th Vintage Racing Group (VRG), this event has two main characteristic that makes vintage racers come back every year? plenty of track time and a lot of fun. This year, the Allard J2X MkII was the featured pace car for a very ecclectic field of vintage racers. Open-wheel, Ford GT40, Mustangs, MGAs, Lolas, Jags, Lotus and even the legendary Ardun Alligator. While the Allard pace car was driven by Roger Allard of Allard Motor Works, long-time veteran vintage racer and Allard J2X hot-shoe, Danny Yanda, did a few laps in the pace car, both as a co-pilot and a driver. Here is what he had to say about the Allard J2X MkII: "Being a driver of an original Allard J2X (red 1953 Allard J2X, #77) at Watkins Glen, new and old course, Mid Ohio, the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, and Summit Point, I was thrilled to get a chance to drive your new Allard J2X on a pace lap at Summit Point. What a surprise to find that when I turned the steering wheel the car actually went in the direction I turned, and accelerated with the smoothness of a modern car, and when I put the brakes on, the car came to a smooth, straight stop. Wow, what a wonderful feeling going into turn one and not giving the ?Allard Prayer? of ?I hope it slows down and turns in?. Your car is a pleasure to drive, handles like a Corvette, and rides like a Cadillac. The seats are handsome, comfortable and supportive, the instrument panel is very well laid out and very true to the original. Thank you for the wonderful experience." Danny Yanda

Calabogie Motorsports track is a super new track which opened for testing in the Fall of 2006. Twenty-three turns, lots of elevation changes and very technical. The formula for lots of fun and great racing. People are wonderful and 'apres-track' is great. The Allard J2X MkII will be back now that the track is fully operational.

In the 1950s, Watkins Glen was a regular stop on the US GP circuit. The Allards are well-known to sports car racing aficionados in the region. Today, every second weekend in September, the town of Watkins Glen hosts one of the most exciting vintage race car festivals on the Continent. Not only is there all-out vintage racing for every class of legendary cars, but festivities in Watkins Glen include a reenactment of the 1950's race on the original 6.5-mile road course. The entire circuit is lined with hundreds of fans who are priviledged to see rare and exotic vintage race cars, including of course, Allards, Jags, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Bentleys, Alfas, Listers, Cunninghams, MGs, Healeys, to name but a few. The festivities also includes rallyes, touring, car shows and a concours d'elegance. Allard Motor Works hopes to wet your appetite and have you visit Watkins Glen's US Zippo Vintage Grand Prix.
