There was a group at the 2nd half of the pack at Watkins Glen who enjoyed themselves immensely. TR3 TR4 TR6 were all represented. Maybe this concept will catch on. In fact I think it has. We can influence this among ourselves...of course we dont have to have any more rules and regulations to do this. And I can still appreciate those with cash and talent who want to go faster. >Good Morning > > What I am observing is that some vintage racing groups are going >down the same path as CanAm and FI by allowing expensive modifications to >take >place.
