meant running car that was a "real" car, had history, and was pretty much
prepped to period spec. Yes, this was a fairly exclusive club and these cars
were relatively rare but that's the arena I was interested in playing in.
My general thinking was that the rarity and value
of the cars would produce a safer event and hopefully, drivers with stronger
skills. I recently bought a period restored 64 Vette roadster with a
strong
verified history and am presently sorting the car (another story there....).
I presume those would
be drivers with lesser skills and/or with less invested emotionally or
financially in their cars.<<
Oh really now? What would your opinion be if other people decided that YOU
didn't have enough invested either emotionally or financially in YOUR car??
Maybe the Ferrari guys don't want the likes of a lowly Corvette running with
their expensive Italian iron. Get my drift?? You need to get a grip on
yourself. Racing is and always has been a dangerouis sport. Cars get smashed
and people get hurt. If you're that concerned about your car, perhaps you
should stick to concours.
