I think this is the key. In the groups with whom I run (SVRA, VSCDA, HSR),
there is good close competitive racing, but in my experience very few
individuals* guilty of ungentelmenly (or unladylike)driving. Nothing is wrong
with trophies and good hard racing as long as the sportsmanlike attitude
prevails.
