Greetings fellow roadsteritus-afllicted folks,

I'm glad to be officially joining this site. I've been active in roadsters since I bought my first car back in '88. It's still the only street roadster I own and gets out on sunny days every summer. It got me started in a local sports car club, which then got me into autocrossing, then corner working and finally wheel-to-wheel racing.

Over the years, I've parted a few cars, and raced a few. I'm proud to continue to race the car last raced by Col. Joe Hauser, a four-time National champion (three in a GP 1600 roadster). My first car continues to be vintage raced locally by John Wierz.

I'm fortunate to have known other roadster guys in the area. Dennis Tobin of LaFox Imports, who sold me my first race car, and Bob Dicke, who owns Bob McQueen's ex-BRE car and was my autocross instructor.

I know a bit about the cars, mainly 1600's and race prep; much of which we discuss on Chris Coker's roadster race site http://www.risensonracing.com/phpBB2/

Enjoy the ride and see you at the track!

Welcome Bill! Be prepared for lots of questions! This board is a little more lively than the racer board...
