Fun!

Yup. Me too.  Although I never had the budget to run 'pro'. I used 
to run a number of TSD rallyes organized by the SCCA, the Cleveland 
Sports Car Club, the Northeastern Ohio MG Club, and the Tuscarawas 
Valley Touring Club ... strictly class "B" and "C". (Never went the 
'full equipment' route for Class "A".) [We had some tough competitors. 
One of our Class A crowd won the Cannonball ... more than once I 
believe. {'Course having BMW as sponsor and John Buffum as driver 
certainly didn't hurt their chances!}]

I probably still have a dozen 'dash plaques' stuck to the front of 
my stereo cabinet!  ;-)

The "Ohio Winter Rallye" was our biggest annual event.  A night drive 
through hills and single lane covered bridges in Amish country ... in 
February - which usually guaranteed plenty of ice and snow!  Big Fun!  
Had breakfast one year with a nice fellow from Michigan who had rolled 
his car.

I think Autocross and Gymkhana were bigger down in the Akron area ... 
I never did find any to compete in up in Cleveland.

>>It's alright..Maude had a good run. 

Ah! Alright then.  'Art cars' come out for parade at least once a 
year here in Houston.
