Hi Henry,
Funny old world isn't it, we have talked about making it over to Mosport in
2004 and then this comes in from left field.
Have already sent it on to a couple of the guys to gauge opinion, personally
I feel the need to best Mr Jon Wood who drove my car with such aplomb at
Mid-Ohio (still hasn't repaired it though <grin>). Happy to think we could
hook up with you guys again, will let you know how opinions go.
Cheers for now,
Keith.
PS - Just purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee (a little touch of America) and am
having it converted to run on LPG, it is the 255bhp high output V8, any of
you guys got any info on this conversion can contact me offline if you wish.

Greetings gang 'o gearheads;
I am crossposting this from the Vintage Race list. VARAC is throwing down
the gauntlet...
I see they are also hedging their bets by copying Keith Files. Keith, do
you think your mates can handle something like twice the track time they
got at Mid-Ohio? <grin> Can we keep your cars in one piece that long???

I was chatting with the organizers of this VARAC event at the Glen last
week, they really sold me on the idea. I am planning on running this event.
Know several others that will be there as well.
From everything I have always been told about this event, the treatment
the racers receive is the complete opposite from Mid-Ohio.
