Default Race Cars vs Protouring

I am also getting older and not the fastest
The older I get the faster I was... the main thing
is to go out and have fun... find someone you can
run with and drive the cars hard but not over your head
I have been to events when I have never been passed
and then ran with the SCCA national guys and never passed
any of them... I had fun and came back in one piece

I ran the Virginia City Hillclimb in Nevada (One of the
best events I have ever done)... they came up to me every time
before I ran and told me 8/10's as they have lost many
guys on that hill who drove over their heads... also stay
away from the crazy guys out on the track... go into the hot
pits and ask for an open space... I find sometimes open track
and no one ahead or behind makes me drive better, faster
and safer

Good luck with your selection.. Vettes that are a few years old
make good track cars as many where not driven that hard and
they handle and brake good right out of the box

My 2 cents worth
