Reminds me of an autocross I competed in a few years ago. It was a "mirror image" event. There were two identical courses laid out on the parking lot that were mirror images of each other. Both cars ran their respective sides at the same time, then you swapped sides. You ran both sides against the same car and the lowest combined time was the winner.
With my Speedster I ended up in the same group as a guy in a Sunbeam Tiger. I totally blew the guy away before the first turn. Someone came up and said, "What the hell is in that that thing, a V8 ?" I said, "No, that would be him."
I cannot believe the fun I had with this car back when it was just another old Porsche. I beat the hell out of it. Drove to work in the rain with the windshield wiper still scraping the shoe polish ID number off the windshield from the weekend autocross.
Now it's a significant financial asset and I am reticent to do anything to damage it. Sad in a way.
