Glen:
never meant to suggest that, a bit.
Your comment makes me wonder, though, what a (dual-purpose) LSR modified
sports/ pimpmobile would look like. Is there a SCTA rule against running
with a "contenintal kit"? I envision a really flashy driving suit, too--
gold helmet, etc., etc. Turk and the girly Comero would probably look
downright conservative, by comparison.
