=========================================================

Some people unfortunately live in dream worlds -  if you do 
that you will never even pass scrutineering!

You cant race now as you could in 1950, ( or as I raced 
a 1950 F2 car in the 1980s for that matter) there are now 
too many do gooders - with their vested financial interests 
who have introduced so many rules and regulations that they
have turned what was a great social sport into just a business.
