As a relatively new and geographically displaced member (Florida), my
answers do not include the food.
- What has Team Thicko meant to you,both on and off the track. Answer -- a
source of camaraderie and information. I am new to vintage racing and, as a
driver of a LBC, find the Thickos as a great source of knowledge and
information ... some of it is even good!
- What are we doing right? Answer -- Making vintage racing accessible to
real people. Nothing against Ferrari and Porsche drivers, but vintage
racing includes a lot of us LBC drivers!
- Why have so many people embraced our philosophy? Overeating and heavy
drinking ... is there more?
- Why are you involved? See above ... and who else will let a Mini-Cooper
into polite (?) company?
