Hi all!
That's EXACTLY how I feel, in my little fiberglass and metal Spit. I
have a 'glass bonnet and deck lid, and fiberglass flares front and
rear. Corinthians wants me to lose the flares and the fiberglass, but
they'll let me run (just lose points in class). There's no
million-dollar prize (or *any-dollar* prize), so I'm not worried about
being first, but like Bill said, I love the dicing with my
closest-matched opponent(s). It's the fun of being out on the track and
maybe getting one up on that rolling bathtub or MG.
Keep Triumphing,
Susan :)
