Joe...

Bob Wismer and I usually attend this banquet, but this year we both have 
family conflicts.  Down through the years it has always been a great way to 
get together with fellow racers during the winter.  VSCDA is doing something 
different for 2013, and holding the event in conjunction with another 'auto 
club' group.  Not sure of the impact this will have, nor how it will work 
compared to what they have done in the past, but regardless...I wish I was able 
to go as their speaker and honored guest is Janet Guthrie, who is one 
classy lady and was one heck of a driver.  Granted she is best known as a female 
Motorsports trail blazer, but more than a few believe that all she lacked 
was top shelf equipment and she would have been a record setter.  Look what 
she did in TransAm and without a Major Team effort.  A few years back she 
graced a Beady Eye VINTAGE TRIUMPH Racing Team wine and cheese party at Road 
America with her presence.  She's both a great sport, and one classy lady.  Her 
book:  Janet Guthrie-A Life at Full Throttle is a very good read and 
recommended.
