OK. I know people are tired of bike posts but when we were in the early
stages of high school, we used to ride our bikes out from San Lorenzo though
Crow Canyon Road to the Fairgrounds and watch our English Teacher Mrs. Riggs
race her 356. Pink helmet as I remember, perhaps inspired by Donna Mae
Mimms' Think-Pink Team (do I have that right Pat?). Saw her at out 35th
reunion last (two?) year ('s ago) and she said they still have the car.
Maybe I'm old and cynical but I betcha it was more fun then. When I wave to
another sports car, even another Miata, they are not even there. Maybe we
could have a just-for-the-fun-of-it-event sometimes? Stupid, huh?
Your Buddy, Tony
BTW, riding a 10 speed in 1963 meant you 1) could not afford a Corvette, and
2) were a hopeless geek. Nothing changes I guess.
