Good for you Gary. All good points.
As a point of reference, let me add some info to my use of 'high speed
parade'. It is a variation of a quote from Bob Tullius, who as Honorary Grand
Marshall at an early ELVF, was asked what he thought about 'vintage racing'.
He
stepped on our toes and said something to the effect of...I don't think you
should do it, and if you do, it should be more like a 'high speed parade'
instead
of real racing. Kind of hurt our feelings when he said it, but clearly he was
influenced by his background, the risk involved, and safety issues. In the
same question and answer period he was asked his favorite circuit after running
at so many venues. I was surprised he said, "Brainerd". When asked why,
again safety was the issue. He said, "Brainerd, while fast, is safe and
forgiving."
