[Roadsters] Midwest Roadsters

[Steve Jacobson]

Dave,
I guess I'm one of those 25!  Mine was driven around Racine last year
quite a bit while trying to get it tuned, kids to soccer, grocery
runs, back and forth to Milwaukee a couple times, then to Road
America, then at RA on track. The comp suspension does get tough on
the back after a while!

This year we're building a real race engine, so I don't know that it
will see much street action anymore except at Elkhart Lake (110
octane $$$) which I am sad about.  Guess I'll just have to find
another one!  Maybe I'll get down your way to Blackhawk and/or
AutoBahn though, we'll have to see what this busy summer allows.

Steve,
Depending on the state of the car, I would love to at least go
partway west with you.  Can't do the whole deal, but some is better
than none!  I'm planning to have the new engine in sometime in
June/July, so I'll either have something that needs "breaking in"...
or a rdoorstop.
