Will,
I too feel like a "puppy" at only 8 years, compared to some. One of our
founding club members, Al Sands, who isn't "in cyberspace" has been
Morganeering since prior to '62. He tells of the days when they use to
hill climb on a public road near here, at a place called Rattlesnake
Point, in the 40s & 50s, when it was gravel. Then there was also ice
racing & other pursuits. Of course, this was the days before public
liability, insurance concerns, emissions testing, concours valuations,
etc. These days it's tough to get folks to drive off of a paved surface
for a short stretch! Perhaps we've missed the boat, being too recent!
Any "old timers" agree?
Cheers!
