a decidedly different playing field."
I here ya, but I am out there competing in SVRA group 6. This is an
organization that talks the "Follow
the rules" talk . I look around at what I see on the my competition and I
see 4 wheel disks and roller lifters and
rockers and I see panhard rods, 347's in place of 289's and some of the
best technology money can buy.
I play at the bottom of this food chain, about 2/3 of the way back in
the pack. I have just as much fun
as the guys up front.
My point - I just want my fellow competitors to play safe and drive
respectfully. I don't care what they drive.
But I don't wana be last, I have some ego.
All this from a guy that rolled it at the Glen last year when his ego
got the best of him. That's me.
