[Fot] Why do you race what you race?

[rdavis4 at cfl.rr.com]

I may be different from a lot of the racers. I admire someone who can keep the same car for years. Me, I'm trying to build and race every car that I have pined over through the years when I couldn't afford the sport. TR4, Datsun 2000, GT6, 510 Sedan are all behind me now. But I  have landed on my present project....a 1957 TR3.....and plan on sticking with it for a long time. A couple of really good inspirations in Florida where I live, in Mike Jackson and Tim Suddard who race a TR3 very successfully. Like the guy with the Harley who loves the unique sound it makes, the 4 banger TR has that same uniqueness and especially the look.
