Well said Bill
First, my deepest symapathies go out to go out to Dr. Hermons' family
and friends. We have lost another of our own regardless
of what he drove and how hard he was pushing it. We all have our own
measure of " winning " and I can only hope the good doctor
was leading in his own way when he went off.
By the by, I got my HANS two weeks after we lost Uncle Jack.

Subject: Re: [Fot] Sad news from Road America
Nextly, as far as I know, nobody has gone from vintage to F1. Are we
getting too serioius about winning? Just a thought.
Geez, so my planned career path is probably a bust?
I know it doesn't make sense, but when you get behind a wheel you race.
End of story. I honestly never have really understood this eight tenths
stuff. Sure, we don't jam our cars into a chicane five across and get
all chesty, and we back off rather than make that low-percentage pass
that would be just part of the game even in your basic SCCA regional
race, but we still all push it, and try to pick up a little more mid
corner speed in that long sweeper, event though the car is bucking a
little and the back end is stepping out.
I'm KNOW there's some people out there that don't think of winning, they
think about their car's history, and they just enjoy being on the track.
I know because I usually lap them, sometimes several times. It's not a
parade. I don't drive it that way, and neither do the vast majority of
the people I know.
