The ironic thing is that you have to jump a curb to get into the Golf Course
the normal way!
The WPTA had some boards piled next to the curb to ease the cars over the
curb and someone to guide you over the boards. Unfortunately, the guy didn't
guide me very well when I left and I missed the boards. When the back wheels
of The Blue Car hit the pavement, the curb caught the muffler just right (or
just wrong) and when I drove off, the resonator and muffler stayed behind!
The Blue Car got real loud, but some Mason-Dixon guys I was with fixed it in
a jiffy.
This was the only negative in a very well run and fun event. You have show
cars and race cars together at the same time in a great location! The WPTA
does a great job!
