Re: Why race your supercar
As I have said in the past, if not careful, we are headed down the same road traveled by our "Vette brothers. Their hobby got to the point that cars were being restored/shown without any of the fluids ever being put in the cars. The cars were being pushed where ever they went. Many of the other ones, which did have fluids in them, could barely get out of their own way. And, we are talking about some of the rarest hi-performance cars built. Finally, a couple of the larger shows decided it was time to end all of that, so one of the requirements for the top award was a car must perform at a certain % it was capable of when new. To them, and I agree, a car is not restored correctly if it will not perform anywhere close to the way it was built and thus, should not receive top honors.

Think how exciting Vettefest (or other large shows) would be if any car wanting to acheive top honors had to perform within a certain % of when new. Then, awards such as the "Top Gun" award would truley go to a car(s) that was befitting the title. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]
