Why not take it a step further. Lemans starts. Have to run to the car and hop in. ;) I'd be game for that kind of fun. A. On 14 February 2011 23:49, RACER BUD <budscars@comcast.net> wrote: -- Andre R

Ha ha! That would be funny to watch. Like lots of girls knitting a scarf, the racers would sit in their cars and getting the harnesses, arm restraints, and gears on before any engine will shout up. C

The VSCDA tried some LeMan type starts in the mid 1980s. They were exciting, and seemed a good idea on paper, but not in practice. Vintage racing is complicated enough with its wide diversity in hors
