Art -
Yea, I think that's the change. Sounds like you were a little frustrated w/
the SEB too, but in our case it's lack thereof!!! I know people get tired of
hearing about this FM Parity thang - but you know what they say, "the squeaky
wheel gets the grease." Maybe the SVee crowd hasn't squeaked enough, in the
past nor present. The SVee is an excellent platform for cost-effective
trills. It's just too bad they've been so poorly classed by SCCA. When was
the last time a Vee won a National Championship in any class? Well, I believe
it was Davie Looman in CM, 1978. Actually, Joyce won several Championships in
both CML and DML though the 1980s.
As far as moving back to DM, thanks for the support, now all we need is the
support of the DM competitors, the MAC, and the SEB. WOW - that a LOT of
support.
Anyway - it's always good hearing from you. Take Care...
