Double Regional at NHMS last weekend
Kudos to my friend and FV newbie, Harry White who purchased my LYNX back in June, went to driver's school at LRP in June and was then allowed to race in his first race the next day! Harry finished 7th out of 21 Sat in the pouring rain. He just took ownership of my Laser MKII(the former Kevin W. car ...

Re: SRF vs VEE
My one and only car to car collision was with a SRF. Anyone who thinks they belong in the same race group as a FV or FST needs their head examined. Those cars sit up so high you can practicaly run under them. Here in GreatLakes division our stuarts for the most part have enough sence not to put the...

Re: Lime Rock National Results?
Did they tow it from the roll bar instead of the front beam? Yes, and recently (how long I don't know 'cause I don't get towed often :lol: ) they are using a strap that locks - the driver cannot let go like the old rope. Also, off track is very muddy and the tires dig in. They are in such a hurry t...

Re: Last words in passing
Kevin may have left our ranks but has passed on the torch to this 63 year old who has just purchased his Laser. I can truthfully say that all my dealings with Kevin have been great and he has kindly offered to assist me with information on the car in the future. His departure is our loss in MHP.

If you ever decide to get back into racing, I have a perfect class for you: NASA's Camaro-Mustang Challenge. Each of your major concerns is a non-issue and you can build and race a car in the class for equal or less money than a FV. I know, because I raced CMC for the past five years, but this year...

I interpret that to mean that with the car in gear it still...
