[Vintage-race] SVRA group 6 at the Glen

[rkramer3 at austin.rr.com]

I was quite upset last year at COTA with the track time. It was inflicted by
drivers from within the Group but I spent $500.00 extra for an enduro with the
sole purpose of letting my son split the time with me so that he could get to
"race" at COTA. He spent most of his half hour parked on track. I am not an
SVRA regular but the value for the money was not there in the Group 3 races
either. Too many cars in the Group, too much speed differential between the
faster cars who drove aggressively and many drivers dive bombing cars that
were already into their turns. The passing driver is responsible for the pass,
but not when you are driving for a Gold helmet. Red Mist was all around.
