Interesting to read the comments posted below the photos regarding the
"wild" driving of Group 6 drivers, and their "cheater" engines, etc.

The main reason I am building the Spitfires for Vintage Racing is the hopes
that I wouldn't have to deal with too many drivers who were deep in the
throes of the "red mist".  I remember watching Susan Kahler racing at
Mid-Ohio and everyone simply having a ball racing with their friends - fists
shaking at each other with HUGE smiles on their faces after a nicely set-up
pass, etc.  I think this type of an incident, and especially what is alleged
by the comments, gives vintage racing a black eye.  I've been thinking about
this all day.  Though I know this dramatic an incident is a rarity, I'm
wondering how often less dramatic incidents occur.  What am I getting myself
into?
