MY YOUNGEST SON MATT WAS ALLOWED TO RIDE IN ONLY ONE SACTIONED EVENT BECAUSE OF THE SINGLE ROLL BAR. THAT EVENT WAS THE VIRGINA CITY HILL CLIMB IN NEVADA. THE FIRST TWO YEARS HE ALWAYS LOOKED FORWARD TO IT. I THEN HAD A NEW ENGINE BUILT WITH A TAD MORE HP/TORQUE. AFTER THE FIRST RUN HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SAID, "NO OFFENSE DAD,BUT ILL PASS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND". HURT MY FEELINGS, BUT IT WAS A RED FLAG! HE WAS RIGHT, WAS WAY BEYOND THE ENVELOPE...DID DO MY BEST TIME, WAS JUST ALITTLE TOO CLOSE TO THE CLIFT. HE STILL WON'T RIDE WITH ME, EVEN IN THE GT350. MAYBE AT 25 HE HAS A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE THAN WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER!
