Don't have any problem with what you say, Roscoe. The major difference between losing it on the track versus the street is you end in a sand pit, fence or another car versus a telephone pole, innocent bystander or who knows what. Street activities must be under tighter controls before the fact, not after something really bad happens at one of our events.

We all know rules, laws and regulations are made for those who abuse their freedoms as opposed to those who excercise their responsibilities. My mother would be proud to here me say that. I sure went through enough tires on the family car before they got wise to me, thus the rules were applied harshly to my driving priveledges.

By the way, I would enjoy myself sitting in my folding chair under the trees at London answering questions about my Cobra as much as I would rounding the Carousel at Mid Ohio at 110% with my left front fender stuck inside another's door while passing. Those were the good old days, trading paint at Mid Ohio.

Keep it safe, but have fun.
