I WHOLEHEARTEDLY DISAGREE!! If we aren't all on the same wavelength out
there, there will surely be problems of the type we're seeing way too much
of. Sir, I suggest that if you want to race with a "damn the torpedos"
attitude, you find another venue other than Vintage.
<<Which are you?>> Hopefully, the guy who's nowhere near you on the track,
whether that be at the front or the back of the pack! But if you really want
to know which driver I am, I'd suggest you ask the ladies and gentleman I
often race with and against....
FYI, I only mentioned the $2500 car owner, not because there is a correlation
between driving skill and financial strength (we've seen this proven over and
over), but rather one of someone who comes to vintage racing with an attitude
of "hey, I don't care if I stuff a fender...after all, its only a $2500 car"!
As we've seen, this same attitude can apply to those with multi-million
dollar rides. I think you missed my point entirely....
