Thank you for the reply Steve (and others!) This is a great site, and long may it remain so. I guess being a site that is dedicated to Motorsport History means that its users tend to be more "mature" than other sites that are of more a general nature.
I myself have been involved in Motorsport at a professional level for over 20 years, and although I have been involved to the very top (world championship) level, most of my work now centres around historic racing cars, as that is where my interest lies. Having said that I am "only" 43 years old, and with a few exceptions struggle to get excited about many of the modern classes of Motorsport.
And although there will always be big ego's wherever there is motorsport, Historic racing generally has a lower number of these compared to modern classes, as most of us now realise we will not be getting that call from Ron Dennis any time soon!
