I believe you are getting yourself into a great sport with tons of nice people
that will race you 'till 'ya drop but in a great and sporting fashion.

Interesting to read the comments posted below the photos regarding the
"wild" driving of Group 6 drivers, and their "cheater" engines, etc.
The main reason I am building the Spitfires for Vintage Racing is the hopes
that I wouldn't have to deal with too many drivers who were deep in the
throes of the "red mist". I remember watching Susan Kahler racing at
Mid-Ohio and everyone simply having a ball racing with their friends -
fists
shaking at each other with HUGE smiles on their faces after a nicely set-up
pass, etc. I think this type of an incident, and especially what is
alleged
by the comments, gives vintage racing a black eye. I've been thinking
about
this all day. Though I know this dramatic an incident is a rarity, I'm
wondering how often less dramatic incidents occur. What am I getting
myself
into?
