Yes we are and it shows that with the correct car both of us can still win
or come very close to the top. A friend of mine has a KBS Mk 4 (?) short
wheel base car with my old Kawi (rebuilt year before I sold it to him) in
it. That car will turn in any direction with even the road race setup and
narrow front tires! Plus a very nice looking car. Was a National Road Race
car until the went to the long wheel base cars. Just too small of a cockpit
for us big assed guys to get into. I can get in but have a hell of a time
getting out!
Plus my first solo was more of a hill climb with a big curve. If you have
Google Earth, look for Fort Getty, Jamestown, RI. I missed one the events
when a Corvette went off the boat ramp at about 130. My friend took one
look at it and would not run his Ford GT40 there in the early 70's!

Bobby,
1964 Huh? Well, I come close - my first Solo was in 1970 in Atlanta.
