Driving the Tracks

[LuvDaBlues]

rb,
You'll never catch those guys in Miatas or RX7s. They're like little gnats. You're comparing old tech to new. You're not being fair to yourself. I ran against them in a HPDE class, and I felt like "Spike" the bulldog powering about my business with "Chester" begging me to play. Two different classes of cars.

ack,
With the little time I've spent on the tracks, SCCA would not be the club racing to participate in. NASA would be much better. Fewer restrictions, and the drivers are not out for "so much" blood as the SCCA. Actually, a group here in the Southwest is what I'm going to look into more. CVAR. Vintage auto racing. Not as much damage to the cars because of the rules. It's most self inflicted instead of wheel to wheel with your opponent.

A bunch of us from Dallas traveled to Tulsa two weeks ago to run Halette. Most of us couldn't keep up with the damn Mustangs. Again, our old technology verses their new. BUT, one thing I do notice! It takes a whole lot more talent to drive our cars compared to the new Mustangs, Miatas and RX's. So if you give them a run for their money, I'd bet if you switched cars you'd have much better times than them.
