have thought this would have been taken care of.

The only time Gary Milligan drives the Phantom on a non-local course is once
every other year at Nationals and the Seattle NT. Since no one has come
close to this car, I guess they don't need to any more national level event
seat time.<s>

Perhaps the mind and the muscles aren't trained as well by cars where 90% of

There seem to be plenty of people with time to travel driving slower cars,
so I guess that just leaves a preference in good drivers for fast cars...
maybe the better drivers are bored with the lesser demands of slower cars. I
guess I still think faster cars train drivers better.
