Subject: RE: BS: British Cars!
Speaking of racing, there's one kinda race that is real fun... It's called Enduro... They go it on a 1/2 mile dirt track in Hagerstown, Md and use "grocery getters"... It used to pay like $5000 for 1st place...

Here's how it works... You get about 50 or so knuckle-heads who have bought old hoopties for a $100 or so, give them a two page rule book on how to set the car up and let 'um go at it for 500 laps... No caution flags unless a car is on fire or the driver is critically injured... When there are wrecks the cars have to stay on the track right where they wrecked so each lap becomes a memory quiz 'cause the track becomes more and more an obstacle course as the day goes on... By the end of the race there are only a few places where folks can try to get around the guy ahead of them before its single file between wrecks... BTW, if and when you wreck yer can you stay in it until the race is over...

Now that's what I call fun...
