I was a little lower down on the food chain in the 50's, with a new VW. One always waved at other Beetles, which were rare in Iowa where we lived, but disdained to wave at Renault Dauphines. The cool

I love all types of racing, but I am going to try to get more involved with current SCCA machines. US road racing needs your support. It is sickening to see the stands at CART/IRL and Trans Am races.

SCCA is a big place. All of those exist in some places and not in others. Cheating is not, in my experience as a driver and a steward, nowhere near as common as gossip about it. It is more agressive
