I remember attending my local SCCA region meeting, back in '81 or '82,
and listening to my friend, Bob Criss, telling the membership about his
SCCA Run-Offs experience, at Road Atlanta, from the previous month, when
he won the F-Production national championship. He was "clocked" at 130
mph, coming through "the Dip". His statement, regarding that speed, in
a Spridget: "scared the SHIT out of me".

bit of work on it. He also said he once drove it at 120 mph.

I wouldn't think moving the steering wheel back and forth while it fell
from
the airplane would qualify as "driving".

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Skinners
Union
carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for
experienced hands,
the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the Haynes shop manual.
