<DIV>As someone with CRX on track experience, and also a guy that loves his
street TR3 and keeps one very fast race TR3 going, I don't think that dissing
the modern sports cars is really good for us overall.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As has been mentioned previously, interest in "our" cars is fading, as is
interest in automobile enthusiasm in general. Now is not the time for
"interservice rivalry", as it were. We need to embrace all of the many
forms</DIV>
<DIV>that are the sportscar, and indeed motorcar enthusiasm in
general. We need to keep our love alive, and to bring up another couple
generations of enthusiasts who will come to cherish "our" cars, and keep them
alive well into the future.</DIV>

<DIV>Oh, the spec Miata lap record at Mid Ohio is now down to a hair over
1:40. Just sayin', and that was not done by bumping each other, but by
proper application of good driving skills.</DIV>
