I told Henry that it gives a guy an unfair advantage to drive an FV for
awhile, because you really have to learn to drive right and get rid of bad
habits that you don't even know you have that are induced by horsepower.
Years ago I raced a TR3 for a couple of years, and then I bought a FVee.
The first race I took it to was at IRP. There was a little gentle S-curve
at that track that I knew how to drive 'just right". In practice, I was
following another Vee when we came to that corner, and when we came out of
the corner he had picked up three car lengths on me. How the check did he
do that? Oh, just kept his momentum and didn't scrub off any speed........I
finally learned that stuff, most of which I've forgotten, but I really
loved Vee racing and FF racing.
