It was to WIN. Being in a class that was being dominated by Lotus 7 clones
with any engine under 2 liters in size, and weighing 1000 popunds, I wanted
to see if I could get a Spitfire to be competitive.
And I found out that the answer is NO. Despite all the modifications the
weight difference was too great to make up and I could not take enough
weight off my car to get down to their level. So I just converted the car
to Street legality and am now enjoying freeway driving in it. (And playing
with the occasional Corevtte)~ :)
