>and weird tires, I knew he would run 10 sec. faster than me and I was
>pleased to see that he had a race to run with other cars just like his! I
>had a race to run, too, and had a fantastic time at the event! I race to
>have fun, I build cars to have fun, and sometimes I DON'T do this to
>preserve cars but to exercise them! I can guarantee you that 1:48 at
>Mosport with my 1275cc engine and F.Ford tires is a ton more fun than 1:58
>with my 948cc engine and 4.50 L series Dunlops! It just is, and claiming
>originality don't change the adrenaline rush!
