Jim my friend, you have just what us vintage racer's want to hear. Your there for the "Sportsmanship, friendship, or just to be part of something we enjoy. A very good friend & fellow racer once told me, come the end of the weekend the prize money between 1st and 10th, is the same
I think I have mentioned this before. We live by 4-rules in "Vintage Racing" 1-Take care of the other driver. 2-Take care of the other drivers car. 3-Take of your car, and 4th Take care of yourself. You live by those rules, and come the end of the weekend, your car will be undamaged by you or the other's around you, and that's what you take home, fun, friendship, and even a job well done
The more time you spend with your group, and the more they trust you (It can a take season or two) then you can to start to run fender to fender or nose to tail, that's when the REAL FUN start's. Trust me Jim, I spent 16+ years running with the "Boys" and none of us EVERY touched each other, sometime it was CLOSE, but that's for another day
. Again Jim I'm proud of your attitude, and mindset, toward vintage racing, keep it up Pal. Cheers Tom.
