I have to say I agree. Club liability is at risk if an unfortunate event sh=
ould occur being as how it's a club sponsered event. I used to like driving=
 fast but I don't trust myself as much as I once did. I really don't trust =
oncoming traffic at all. Too much to lose.

How Fast is Too Fast?

As the =93unofficial=94 Risk Manager of the WPTA (and leader of the Wolfpac=
k), we have had a pristine record over the past 23 years that I have been i=
nvolved with the Club.

So, my question of the day is: How Fast is Too Fast?

Let=92s remember that although I do drive at a =93brisk pace=94, I know whe=
n it=92s too fast for conditions.

It was recently brought to my attention of WPTA vehicles reaching speeds of=
 81 miles per hour on a recent back roads tour. Remember that a lot of thes=
e roads are 2 lane sweepers and blind bends. Shear disaster can always be w=
aiting around the next corner.

So, here=92s the story of the day: =93When my son received his driver's lic=
ense, I had a conversation involving thinking with the big head and not the=
 little head=94.

So, let=92s try to drive Responsibly!

Haven't been on many of these lately but we did decide to do Ken's run this=
 past weekend.   Great job Ken.  Guess I'm just old but anymore I enjoy the=
 destination a lot more than the driving.  I think many of us like to think=
 of these cars as great handling sportscars in the manner of a vintage race=
r.  In reality, my minivan probably handles and stops better than your aver=
age LBC.  I can see the liability issue.  Things are just different today. =
 When I first joined, the club bought a keg of beer for all the meetings.  =
That obviously had to change.   On a lighter note.......The late great Geor=
ge Carlin once said.  "While driving, did you ever notice that anyone going=
 slower than you is an asshole but anyone going faster is a maniac ! "  LOL=

I agree with George Carlin when driving on Rt. 28, however=E2=80=A6I believ=
e there
are some tracks available in our Tri-State area to provide faster driving
if so desired.  There are a lot more vehicles on the road today then when I
bought my first Triumph TR3B. (Circa 1963).  With the many Fracking wells
going, who knows how many trucks and heavy equipment there could be on back
roads today?

Safe driving to all,

Ron S
