After I figured out my FoT email address was wrong, I posted some older posts referencing David and my GT6 ( DP ) engine build...so, a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my pals on FoT!!
Racing with the Corinthian Vintage Racing group last November, I was on hand when one of my fellow racers, Herb Hilton ( Pinnacle Racing ) somehow got off track and AIRBORN upside down at least 6 feet in the air. Now, Herb, who is very very fast and well prepared in his now totaled Sprite Midget ( Spridget ) is kind of admired and looked up to in my group and club... fortunately all his safety gear worked even though he landed upside down too.
It made me acutely aware that ANY of us who race can find ourselves in a dangerous or fatal situation. When I purchased my GT6 from Bob Davis, there was the additional hardware to make the GT6 a full race cage... I know it will add weight, and I'm already struggling to squeeze 198 pounds of lean mean training machine into the GT6... but.... I think I'm going to do it.... face it... anyone of us could get sideways at any time... heck... I know I've been close in three years of racing... so, it won't make me faster but I know it will make me safer....  gonna do it before February race if I can squeeze it into my fab shop...
Be safe....  Bobby Whitehead
