Default Re: Why race your supercar

I really don't agree with racing an original car on a regular basis-- but they were meant to nudged now and again [ my excuse , to blow out the carbon ] Originality means some sort of history and you can replace an engine when it launches a piston thru your hood, but you can't replace the hitory.All that said ---nice 1/4 time, but you'll probably get lower than that.

------I have to tell you that when I was out cutting low 10 second times in "Red Alert" at various different Nostalgia drags,I really felt that I was somehow serving the history of the car.Bob Hamilton,the "man" who made it famous,was so happy I put it back on the strip he was in tears.If any car belongs on a race track,its "Ol Red".The old war-horse is now in a state of retirement,and deserves it,but it could be resurrected!If a car could talk,that old 70 Chevelle would say "lets get it on".
------Reading this back to myself it sounds kind of corny,but Im not changing a word...........Bill S

If any car should be a part of automotive track history it should be RED ALERT [ I've always been a big fan -- even have the die-cast model].I was really commenting on numbers matching cars , not celebrity, in the spotlight caliber of car. To me those particular cars were a head above the rest. O.K.
