I was thinking that if everyone who is a FOT member writes a story we can have
enough stories to do this. There are the usual people who comment regularly
but what about the other 300 who are members. What is their story?
All we would need is their name location and story
Example:
Chris B from Delaware (now), USA
I caught the racing bug when my friends were trying to figure which vintage
organization they wanted to race in while building their MGA racer. Funny
thing is that they own a GT6 and a TR6. While at Summit Point around 08 the
big joke was, "Where is Chris? Oh, he is wrenching on someone's car!" Which
was true! I was watching someone replace a head gasket and they said that if
I stayed they would put me to work. They did! The other joke was that the
next session the car ran the best it did all day. Also that day i helped
replace an axle shaft. That was the start if it. Now while at the races I
crew for the MGA, Bugeye Sprite, and a Formula Vee. Slowly I am building a 74
Spit eventually for the track. First I will have some fun with the stock parts
on the street. Then to the races I go. I am going to have I share the driving
with my wife.
Even something as short as that would be fine.
Ok hit me with the opinions
I have a friend who prints books and they are helping me what would be needed
from start to finish.
