<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">I'm a 31 year member of SCCA and I've held a National license for all those years but had NEVER been in an actual classed race with any car meeting the requirements of a class. I'd
long held a desire to do so before I retired from racing but I'm too cheap to rent a modern race car.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">It had been a while since I'd driven my beautiful and well prepared TR3 (thanks to Glen Efinger!) and reviewing the upcoming options to do so, most interfered with family travel plans
for the summer. So, since this event was essentially in my back yard.....6 miles from my driveway.....it was the perfect opportunity. For the previous month I sucked up to the Chief of Tech and the Race Chairman to let the things that prevented my car from
being fully EP legal slide for this one time. That worked well and we slid thru registration and tech with not a flinch.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The next opportunity for it to go bad was on the grid. But, as you can see in the pic, there I was next to a fully prepared Spitfire driven by my friend and team mate Tim Slater.
Then, I hold my breath for the first couple of laps wondering if the stewards (SCCA has a ton of them at every event) would have me black flagged. They did not.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Here's the bottom line - there must be something to those flares/slicks/fancy suspension/fancy brakes/after market transmissions and on and on. Tim's yellow Spit quickly became a
dot ahead of me in spite of my lap times being in the range of what I can turn on this same track in a vintage race. For a while I was able to hold off the VW that was running last. But, even that didnt work for the entire 15 lap race and my 30+ year friend
and I eventually finished dead f&^ing last. Oh, well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
