This is exciting news! Even though I aged out for racing I may trailer my =
TR 3A there to watch the racing and place it in the Sunday show. Some of yo=
u know I owned Don Bricks TR 4 a short while, last racing it at the 2017 Ka=
stner Cut at Blackhawk. Also some of you know I raced my 1961 Mini for 25 y=
ears. My two most fun tracks to race Tweety Bird across the US and once at =
Mosport are Grattan and Lime Rock Park. Lime Rock being the last two years =
I raced and what a hoot in a small car. Yes you do get wheel spin cresting =
the big hill then stay on it and see how much nerve you have for the down h=
ill curve to the Sam Posey Straight.
