Well-- what's to be done?? I polled this group a few months ago and about
everyone said they CAME TO RACE!! well Racing means winners and loosers! Most
are the latter and I've not heard anything of 'the proper spirit'. The rules
say what you can and can't do to WIN! inside of that everything's OK. leaning
on the car next to you in a corner if not prohibited helps you WIN!
Thats not what Vintage racing WAS about but that was then-- I guess.
