Subject: RE: BS: cars to avoid
Scots...I assume that by time trials you are referring to Solo I & II events? On non-race weekends, I used to love running the pylons. We had access to a local oval track that was closed down ... 1/2 mile oval with a 1/4 mile oval inside, sharing a frontstretch. It made for some great course layouts and lots of good places to watch. Meets were held about once a month. The most memorable one to me was the Sunday that the Mercedes Club showed up as part of their "outting" that month. All kinds of Mercedes turned out....including a stretch limo!!!! The course was fairly tight since the Solomaster drove a TVR and we all got a kick out of watching the Benz folks go through. When the limo lined up, damn near everybody went to the hill where the grandstands used to be to get a good view and have room to laugh like hell. What happened instead was a completely AMAZING run by this guy. Never TOUCHED a pylon and was third fastest of all the Mercedes there!!! The comments were generally under breath and ran along the lines of "Gawddamn," "Holy shit," and "Geeziz this f****r can DRIVE!" As I recall, he ended up after three runs still in third place, but drivig a car that most of us agreed that we couldn't leave the line with without taking out the "Start" pylons. Simply amazing.

AND I WANT TO SAY THAT THERE ARE SOME SICK PUPPIES OUT THERE IN THE VILLAGE OF MUDCAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since the story about my inability to "perform" in a Lotus Europa and Kendall's comment which followed...FIVE, YES FIVE (5)!!!NO FOOLIN'--FIVE 'Catters have sent me PM's inquiring how we "performed" on that cold day, outside without a blanket. You KNOW who you are...GET HELP!!! ...............to answer your question though, let me say this:
ARF!! ARF!! ARF..ARF..ARF!!!

Satisfied now? Y'all some horny folks.........
