So sarcasm has a time and a place, maybe this isn't the place or time.
Many of you have been members of the SCCA as long or longer than I have. The
difference being in 1970 I was three-years-old and on dad's membership,
while you were grown-ups. (Rumor has it that Patc used to watch me while dad
solo'd. (or whatever they called it then)). Some list names are familiar
from my youth, I mean no disrespect to them or others of similar vintage.
The target of this note isn't to drop names or history but bring up a simple
fact: old car versus new car is not a NEW issue.
Twenty-five years ago this whole conversation was going on. The Datsun Z
cars were faster than what was winning five years before and WOW it was an
issue. Even my 8-year-old self noticed. And the former 8-year-old now runs
against the same offending Z car & driver. Time Marches On.
Build the car you love & try to kick ass,
