[Fot] Why do you race what you race?

[RACER BUD]

I race a spitfire because...terrific handling racecar..parts readily 
available...easy access to engine bay(like the GT6)..I can leave the car on 
the trailer in my garage..open the bonnet.. and do the work..including front 
suspension stuff...When I was young i raced TR4s..I loved them and still do, 
but the spitfire is just simpler since I do all of my own work except 
machining and engine assembly
Racer Bud..spitfire #21
