I too had a desire for a 27  track roadster, thus the 1988 roadster. We 
built it to be a dual-purpose but had to retire it from competition when 
they mandated that all open SCTA cars must have a cage. I didn't want to cut 
it up to install the better rollbar.
I DONT BLAME YA ATTALL.

THATS KINDA WHAT I THINK I'D LIKE TO BUILD TOO.

   I'M FRIENDS WITH MIKE BISHOP AND VERN TARDEL AS WELL AS SOME OTHER FOLKS 
SO SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRAW SOME GOOD CONCLUSIONS FROM THEM ALL.  BUT AS YOU 
KNOW THE MORE MENTORS THE BETTER.  SO I WILL ALWAYS APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL 
COMMENTS.   I JUST GOT ON THIS LIST LAST WEEK AND AM REALLY ENJOYING THE 
CONTACT AND BANTER.   WHAT YOU AND RICH FOX HAVE BEEN DISCUSSIN' ABOUT THE 
CLASSES IS RIGHT ON.  I'M WITH YOU ALL THE WAY.  I'D LOVE TA RUN AN 
"OBSOLETE" OL'MOTOR INNA CAR TO GET MY JOLLIES ON OUR BELOVED BLACK 
LINE.....

(I've included it here for those that haven't heard about it....) HOPEFULLY 
IT WILL SERVE WELL TO CARRY TRADITIONALISM INTO THE "NEXT MILLENIUM"  I KNOW 
I'VE GOT GREAT HOPES FOR IT TO KEEP OLD IRON ALIVE AND PROVIDE SOME 
THOUGHTFUL READING FOR US ALL
