First, you should be honored that folks like Ron Bartell want to be involved. He and the others like him are the guys that have carried the water for you for years without you recognizing it. All the knowledge base you rely on, all the development work that has produced the performance parts you need is a result of their dedication, and not yours. These folks and the cars they race represent far more of the 60 years of Sprite racing than Vintage Racing can ever can.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is probably the last Sprite "benchmark" year that will likely be celebrated. Exclude these highly developed cars now and you're not apt to see the like of them again. I came across this video the other night, watch it and imagine excluding a car and driver like this from the 60 year history of racing Sprites. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvLbi_ibxV4" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvLbi_ibxV4</a> ... I can't.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And Ron, I can tell you that Jack Woerle - who organizes the last VSCDA of the year at Road America - will definitely allow your car to run. He's done it for me and openly welcomes the participation of current SCCA cars of the historic marques.</div>
