Yes Russ has described my situation in his final paragraph. I spend all my resources, including time and money on servicing, repairing and developing the car. We have the 'pursuit sprints' here in OZ too Russ I think they call it 'Super Sprints' but I may be wrong. I had the GT40 up against a formula ford at Calder Park (before I started racing it), great fun. As Russ describes I cut my teeth and honed my skills doing sprints while driving a 240z Datsun. I then upgraded my license and raced the 240z in the State Championship for 2 years, so when I switched to racing the GT40 the transition was much easier to handle. I never look down on club racers doing sprints as I believe you can get as much enjoyment ( if not more) out of improving your car and your driving, as a racer who wins a race.
