...which, should mjb choose to extend the invitation, is something of
which I recommend we take advantage of. Good stuff! (And that from someone
who has only recently become a consumer of such beverages!)

To which I'll add that my proposal would specify only another in the
MINIMUM required Concours classes. Should the turnout be sufficient, and
I'm beginning to think it will prove so, such a class could easily be
divided into two or more classes as the organizers see fit. I could
certainly foresee a split between TR-based competition vehicles and
Herald-base competition vehicles, for example. And who knows? Someone
might show up in a works (or works replica) 2000 rallye car or a Dolomite
Sprint rallye car, or that Mini-stocker Herald dirt track car I used to
see in Watkins Glen, NY, years ago, or the fabled "Buttercup" or ????
