I remember there being a lot of car clubs in the days (our high school had one) that did Rally races every weekend, where you drove a specific route and guessed at your time to finish, based on distances, published speed limits, etc. Closest to estimated time won. I think that's why there were so many ordered with the Rally Clock.

Very nice car. That's two that have shown up on the bay this week; the Ascot Silver 74 and now this one.

The Hagerty "Great American race" is done this way, not based on speed, but on accuracy without new technology.
