Here's a classic video of Jim Clark powersliding his Cortina at Crystal Palace in 1964:

I would give anything to be in that kind of race class/format. Other than the odd blown tire, the driver was EVERYTHING in those days. it could only be better if it was raining

So come on out to LR today (Saturday) and watch live and in person. I did a rain dance yesterday but all three storms missed us to the south by perhaps a quarter mile. Practice all morning and races in the afternoon, including the ever popular 'all comers race'. Some of the cars are even older than the drivers. If you do, make sure you stop by and say hi. White trailer with ole # 535 on the side near pit exit.

And MacD, if you REALLY would give anything and you barked like a dog, I MIGHT let you buy the Turner. What a deal!!

If those sedans didn't have understeer they wouldn't have no steer at all.
The guy who figures out it's quicker through the grass and keeps cutting the corner until he's plowing the field is hysterical. Thanks Doug.
