Funny - ran a local Toledo event last summer with Ryan-
the-17-year-old's Pinto.
He ran in FSP, I looked for another class.  Wheels too wide
for STR, so I ran in SM.

Most of THOSE younger folks had no idea what the car was.
Upon finding out that it was a Ford (!) and 30 years old(!!)
the reaction was priceless.  When it beat all but one of them,
the muttering was intense.

Somewhere, at this very moment, one of them is putting the
Pinto on the exclusion list.
