I'm with Jack, leave the current race cars at home. I can deal with
having a good time and finishing behind a few well prepared and
extremely well driven MGBs.
And I also thank him for the love he expressed for my dual SCCA and SVRA
license. I only use my SCCA license to race the same vintage cars I run
pure vintage groups.
As for rhythm, I think I recall that being a vaugly religious/sexual
technique in the 60s. Didn't work then either.
I'll stop the planning phase of an 8 month TR8 project. Prize money
aint high enough, glory isnt great enough, darn SVRA medalions aint
worth squat either!
