I too had a desire for a 27 track roadster, thus the 1988 roadster. We
built it to be a dual-purpose but had to retire it from competition when
they mandated that all open SCTA cars must have a cage. I didn't want to cut
it up to install the better rollbar.
I DONT BLAME YA ATTALL.

THATS KINDA WHAT I THINK I'D LIKE TO BUILD TOO.
I'M FRIENDS WITH MIKE BISHOP AND VERN TARDEL AS WELL AS SOME OTHER FOLKS
SO SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRAW SOME GOOD CONCLUSIONS FROM THEM ALL. BUT AS YOU
KNOW THE MORE MENTORS THE BETTER. SO I WILL ALWAYS APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL
COMMENTS. I JUST GOT ON THIS LIST LAST WEEK AND AM REALLY ENJOYING THE
CONTACT AND BANTER. WHAT YOU AND RICH FOX HAVE BEEN DISCUSSIN' ABOUT THE
CLASSES IS RIGHT ON. I'M WITH YOU ALL THE WAY. I'D LOVE TA RUN AN
"OBSOLETE" OL'MOTOR INNA CAR TO GET MY JOLLIES ON OUR BELOVED BLACK
LINE.....

I'VE GOT GREAT HOPES FOR IT TO KEEP OLD IRON ALIVE AND PROVIDE SOME
THOUGHTFUL READING FOR US ALL
