Perhaps if you had put your mind in gear before engaging your keyboard,
you would have thought before suggesting a non-vintage legal, modern,
update on this list? Looks like the rib-case of the original writer
wasn't the only thing "popping out" around here. Your suggestion was
off-topic here and Roger had every right to comment. If you get annoyed
at him for that and consider it a flame, I feel sorry for your track
mates in SCCA. Jarl
