Enzo? Nothing wrong with that; after all, how many other Enzo's do you
know? :)
As for the rest of the post, I have never met Scotty White, or at least have
never been formally introduced (we were both at the Tour and I know what he
looks like, but that's it). I did find his commentary during run group 3
rather amusing, particularly his pronunciation of "CAR-vette." You'd think
he'd know the correct pronunciation of a car he's spent so much time in ;)
As for the money issue, I, like Randy, don't have a lot of money to throw at
my car. I run the Stock class for that same reason (CS = Cheap Skate? ;)
and when I bought my Miata I resolved that I would run it in Stock for at
least two years. If at the end of those two years I find myself with a
large sum of money burning a hole in my pocket, I might build my car into a
CSP vehicle. And yes, I am aware that it will require throwing a lot of
money at what will be an eleven-year-old car at that time (or however old it
is when I start building it up). Having seen results from a few Tours, I
know the car is competitive. Now I have to get the driver to that level.
I have followed the M3/ESP thread throughout, even though little of it
applies to me. And while I've seen several valid points, I could live
without the name-calling.
sTz - and don't even THINK of calling me Scotty!
'91 "Cheap Skate" Miata ;)
