Rick is a very nice guy.  I like him a lot.  Before the end of the weekend at Mid-Ohio he even came to my spot in the grass paddock and apologized for the  miserable way I was treated at Tech.  I guess he wasnt there at the time but word of the shouting contest got around.

>I have found SVRA to be the most professional group of any of the Vintage organizations. They have a published rule book . Anytime I've had a problem , it's because " I" have not read the rules. Pretty simple . Rick ( head of tech) and his staff has always been supportive and they want cars on track . The small and mid bore grids are important to Svra.
