Sorry if I took all the fun out of it for anyone. ;-)
Doesn't change the fact that there is still bias against Japanese cars
(especially fast ones!) in some areas of vintage racing, and that still offends
me. I guess the best we can do is to keep doing what we're doing - restoring the
cars, driving them, documenting them and their very impressive history, and
making people aware of it.
As Pete Brock said at the end of the Laguna Seca Trans-Am race in 1971, "It
ain't over yet, baby!"

Damn typical!
Geez, Gordon - what is this?
You want the FACTS to get in the way of a good LYNCHING!?!?
I'm appalled.
I was just about ready to go and slash the tyres of any sportscar I could
find that was built anywhere but Japan, too!
Then you have to go an rationally EXPLAIN the situation!
MY GOD, what is this list coming to?
Mutter, grumble, mumble...(shuffles off, looking for next cause to get
heated up on...)
Cheers,
