<div dir="auto">I agree with George Carlin when driving on Rt. 28, however…I believe there are some tracks available in our Tri-State area to provide faster driving if so desired. There are a lot more vehicles on the road today then when I bought my first Triumph TR3B. (Circa 1963).

<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt">Haven't been on many of these lately but we did decide to do Ken's run this past weekend. Great job Ken. Guess I'm just old but anymore I enjoy the destination a lot more than the driving. I think many of us like to think of these cars as great handling sportscars in the manner of a vintage racer. In reality, my minivan probably handles and stops better than your average LBC. I can see the liability issue. Things are just different today. When I first joined, the club bought a keg of beer for all the meetings. That obviously had to change. On a lighter note.......The late great George Carlin once said. "While driving, did you ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an asshole but anyone going faster is a maniac ! " LOL. </span>

I have to say I agree. Club liability is at risk if an unfortunate event should occur being as how it's a club sponsered event. I used to like driving fast but I don't trust myself as much as I once did. I really don't trust oncoming traffic at all. Too much to lose.

Too fast on an official WPTA event is anything over the posted speed limit. Period.
