I can't see why everyone gets all bent out of shape over this
subject, This sport is for Fun!! Remember that!! I don't see

You will never get away with that. But regional events, Why
not? Hay we are out there for Fun!!
Most of this year I gave Rob Boynton rides in my car before he
ran, To tell you the truth, I think it may have hurt him more then
helped him. His car does not corner like mine does. So you
never know.
