[NSRCA-discussion] TOC 1988

[Peter Vogel]

Given where I was in my life at the time, I only got to dream of watching a
TOC someday.

What would it take to bring back an event like that?  Thoughts from those
who were there?

Wow, the pilot board in the video showed some names that are still quite familar around the F3A circuit.   What really amazes me about the TOC is that the event went on for 28 years covering FOUR DECADES and there is a total of only SIX people in the world that can call themselves TOC Champions..  Truly the hall of fame:

The memories come back - thinking about the momentous level of effort it took to prepare for such an event. The lake beds. The glitz.  I feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to particpate in two.
