That's what is nice about living in a Democracy, freedom of speech. (
1984 ) We can exercise our rights every day without the fear of censorship
or retribution. New information can be disseminated to new people just
joining the enjoyment of Vintage Racing. For those of you that might not
need to learn anything new, or share anything for the upcoming participants
that we all need to replace our sorry asses and purchase our over inflated
price cars . . . use your delete buttons.
Otherwise, we can all learn from the mentoring of others, as in the
following discussion.

(Sage advice! Thanks Jack, I have learned a lot from your comments over the
years. Tag on the dash/steering wheel is always helpful.)
Personally, I use distilled water during racing season, change to coolant
and a heat lamp during those really cold Colorado Nights. But, I am
interested in learning what might be a better way around the country, that
this list provides, if we don't have one grump that wants to end a
discussion when his is bored with it.
Just use your delete button. The Vintage-race-digest does not have that
much discussion traffic to task too many people. A good fiber diet is
always a big assist too.
