I WHOLEHEARTEDLY DISAGREE!!  If we aren't all on the same wavelength out 
there, there will surely be problems of the type we're seeing way too much 
of.  Sir, I suggest that if you want to race with a "damn the torpedos" 
attitude, you find another venue other than Vintage.
<<Which are you?>>  Hopefully, the guy who's nowhere near you on the track, 
whether that be at the front or the back of the pack!  But if you really want 
to know which driver I am, I'd suggest you ask the ladies and gentleman I 
often race with and against....
FYI, I only mentioned the $2500 car owner, not because there is a correlation 
between driving skill and financial strength (we've seen this proven over and 
over), but rather one of someone who comes to vintage racing with an attitude 
of "hey, I don't care if I stuff a fender...after all, its only a $2500 car"! 
 As we've seen, this same attitude can apply to those with multi-million 
dollar rides.  I think you missed my point entirely....
