Steve, FV80
I'm also pretty sure we did.. however, color is not MANDATED anywhere. It does make the place look a LOT older though. I would have guessed early 70's if I hadn't had the captions to go by. I would never argue if someone came forward and ASSURED me that it was a typo and the date was really 1974smsazzy wrote:I was under the impression we had color film by 1984......
I think they're sitting at home playing on the internet ... like USSpeedsport wrote:....spectators .... Where has everyone gone?????

I started 44th and finished 29th in my Lynx B and I had a ball. I was living “the dream” driving on a race track I had seen almost 20 years earlier as a wide eyed teenager. Those I raced with and I, did not have the equipment, tires, talent, nor money to run at the front, but it didn’t seem to matter. We raced as hard as we could with what we had. When the race was over, we congratulated those that beat us, and accepted the congratulations from those we beat, and we all had a beer and talked and laughed about it. Yes there were problems with FV back then, but we were living the dream and were part of something bigger. At the end of the day, I finished ahead of 20 of my competitors, but I finished ahead of all those standing at the fence wishing they were driving- not watching. Everyone wants to be competitive and yes win- but there is a lot more to the club and the class, and if you only judge your weekend’s success by your finish position- you are missing a lot. You are living the dream- enjoy the ride.
