Re: Why race your supercar
I've said it before and I will say it again using WWII warbirds as an example. Life will be different the day people quit flying their P51s, Corsairs, P38s, etc. They are just not the same on static display. A good example is one recently discussed here. The P38 Glacier Girl that was pulled out from under the ice in Greenland. A priceless airplane that they wasted no time getting airborne. What a waste it would have been to retore this airplane only to let it sit in some museum somewhere which thankfully they are not doing.
Like anything else, enjoy them but take precautions and care for them. Our younger generation needs to see these cars/planes in action if we can ever hope to keep the hobby alive.
