If the SRF were any longer in the tooth you'd be able to put Morgan badges on it. Now, had Jack insulted the lovely and speedy classic Lola Sports 2000 racers, I could see taking umbrage at his remarks. As it is, he's merely poking a little fun at the Steve Erkel of sports racing cars.

I watched Sports Renault races as a kid at Mid-Ohio. I assure you that nobody actually thinks you're breaking into '81 Escorts to steal the engines. Surely you will agree with me, however, that the SRF is a little short in the lady-pulling department. Erik,

You of course got ZERO facts correct. Like our 14 full service dealers required to attend over 200 SCCA events. Cute story though....keep up the good work. Why bother with facts I guess....ironically we actually have a few customer who could afford the Merc but race our cars. Let me know when then sell 862 of theirs (our current tally) and I will be impressed....until then we have the bragging rights of the greatest spec fleet in road racing.
