This might sound like "Heresy" - does anyone think we should group cars based on their speed capability rather than on what it should be. Possible benefits: 1. End all the bitching about what the oth
What, are you running for political office? Man, you'll never get ahead coming up with an idea that's "intelligent"!! Starting grids for next years races would be based upon actual lap times from th
I've wondered why they don't adopt something like that. It sure seems to make sense but there must be a good reason why they don't I guess. I'm kinda new at this so my thoughts don't count for much.

Say Jack....would that pathetic little thing have been a Ren-ault...or a Re-no Dauphine? Lee Raskin Brooklandville, MD Arnolt (Ar-nolt) Bristol and 356 Porsche ( Por-sha)
You say you used the Dauphine to tow the Mini "to" the races. How many times did you have to use the Mini to tow the Dauphine "back" from the races? Derek
Wow, that must have been FUN. I can hear it from the back seat, "Are we there yet?" Hope you didn't have to tow more than 10 miles. I can also imagine what great clutch life the Rhino enjoyed! Roger
I can also see "Reason for DNF", listed in race results. "Minor problem on race car which couldn't be repaired because tow car clutch needed to be replaced in the paddock." I think these had a cable
I was having a good chuckle and laughing along with everyone else about Renault Dauphine tow vehicles -- until my 1999 Honda Odyssey minivan refused to start tonight. So instead of heading off first
Back when I was a young struggling vintage racer, I used a 20 year old 1970 Mercedes as a tow vehicle. One race, I had everything loaded to go when I noticed that the front trunnion on one side had a
