Who was driving the white XK140 coupe in the 3rd (I think it was the 
3rd) group of sports cars out on Sunday?  That was some spectacular 
driving.  It was a thrill watching that big car drift through the 
corners, and, judging from the oohs and aahhs around me, the other 
spectators thought so too. It was also pretty exciting watching him 
hold off the D type; for a lap or so.   

I'm curious, not being a vintage racer myself, is slipping and sliding 
your car around going beyond the limits set for vintage racing?  Is it 
all right to push your car (and yourself) as long as it doesn't 
endanger anyone else or do you drive at 8/10 or 9/10 no matter what.  
What sort of driving antics will get you a black flag?
