We had three roadsters racing at the VIR Gold Cup vintage races Oct. 5-7. Tom Phelan (2000), Roe Lyle (1600) and myself (2000). A fun weekend but rainy on Sunday morning and damp and cool Sunday afternoon for our race. I finished 3rd overall on Sunday and had some good racing all weekend. Lots of folks commented that they enjoyed seeing the roadsters out racing.

Nice runs, your car sounds great. Loved the passing maneuver on the #8 porshe, that thing was tail happy and all over the road!

Finally got to watch it... Wow, well done! She sounded really dialed in! Amazing to watch the car go one way while you turn the wheel the other...
