I thought he was talking about trading for a bike?

Look back he was also looking for a classic car for a trade. How is a bike good with a family and good if you have a bad back.

Taking a car to one of a myriad of local shows is a lot different than taking one to the track.

When I built this car going to the track wasn't a big deal. 15+ years later, things change. Price of gas goes up. Access to a trailers change. Hell, even driving it to the track is no longer an option.
