<< throwing them out there with the vintage cars just goes against my
sense of what's right >>
Reminds me of the time our club (Midwestern Council) threw a quite
recent Formula 1 car and Indycar in with the vintage group at a race at
Road America. I, um, had missed the drivers' meeting, where I'm sure
they warned everyone about this, because I was, er, still unloading my
car. I made it to the grid after the first cars had pulled out, or I
would have seen them. The first I knew of it was when I looked in my
mirrors near the end of the front straight and saw a tiny speck of a car
waaaaaaay back there and thought to myself "hey....does that car
have...wings??" By the time I finished that thought, the tiny speck of
a car had grown large and loud and screamed past and through turn 1.
There's a bit of a difference between a Spitfire and an F1 car.
Especially at the end of the Road America front straight.

I've really got no problem with the driving attitude that I've seen at
any of the vintage events I've ever been to. There are always isolated
events and every time I've screwed up my car, I've screwed up my car,
not someone else. My thing is if we're going to race VW Rabbits, I'll
go get one, but throwing them out there with the vintage cars just goes
against my sense of what's right............................Henry
