Sounds like fun to me :-) Yes, I am also wary of those banged up cars
on the track. They are not quite as fussed about bending a fender as
most of us are. Plastic and fibreglass parts are often more resilient
to the odd scrape.. and are frequently cheaper to replace.
Go on Larry... who had the 'line'? ;-)

Great photos (what happened to the car lying on its side). Oh yeah... I
bet the red MG racer goes fast, too :-)
Ahhh, I now have a lust (even more) to run around Thunder Hill... what a
great name for a track!
