Geez, if they call us wussies can you imagine what they call the Corvette
guys? :-)
Sounds like they are coming up short on track participants to me!  Write
them back and make up some blatent misinformation about how they have slower
lap times then, Ed (aka;"kOrNmAn")  Kornegay's Miata and that the Corvette
guys said they want to race us because we have OLD tired 30 year old cars!
