Isn't "uppity P-car owners" redundant? :^) Don't worry, the Metro NY PCA
isn't thrilled (except Henry) when the lowly 4 cylinder stock 968 and gets
either FTD or second. And then Salerno, Soloman, and myself show up and they
want to tell us that the event was *suddenly* cancelled. :^). Actually, the
presence of the above and Mike Piera has brought the level of competition up
in the Connecticut Valley Region PCA. I do try to help out and add either
course design, safety, or other items to help the PCA events. Both CVR and
Metro appreciate the knowledge that Pat, the Mikes, myself, and other SCCA
autocrossers bring to an event. It starts by doing what you do to help out.
It also wouldn't hurt to show up with say a 996 turbo and let everyone have
dollar runs in it, either. :^)
