Bruce,

Do you ever take your car to the big tracks or is everything you do is on auto cross type tracks? I think we would all love to see 3170 turning laps at a place like Laguna or Road America.

I ran the Reunion at Laguna in 2012 and ran at the SAAC convention at Sears Point in 2010. I am too old to do that any more and the car is scary fast at full on road courses. At Laguna it was breaking loose from 11 to the top of the hill on vintage tires. At sears it got to 160 MPH between the carousel and turn 7,
it has the original roll bar and a stainless non-fuel cell tank. So a crash could mean death and after this long I don't want to go out just yet. I have raced other cars at Road America and cannot imagine the speeds it could get to going down the hill to 5 especially with no aero to plant it like Morris has. It is just an autox car now and we are having great fun developing it for that purpose.
