I would add that while I don't have anything brag about, there were
THREE roadsters racing last weekend! I took last in CSP ;( , but I'm
still learning and I'm having so much fun I don't care (too much)!
But let me tell ya Tom and Gary are getting noticed!! I'm having
increasing troubles understanding what all the hype is about newer
technology cars, suspensions, etc, when these 2 can kick butt!
What a blast!!
Ok.. to make me feel better :) , I'd like to add that while my
problem is probably substantially PEBSAS (Problem Exists Between
Steeringwheel And Seat), I'm also the only roadster (if not the entire
class!) running street tires, stock suspension and stock rear end.
Gary and Tom are great guys and a blast to hang around with; many
thanks to both for all the mechanical and coaching assists!
p.s. Gary's license plate frame is EARNED:
