A close 2nd again!

So He Who Can Fix Anything (haven't heard about him in a long time, have we?) came second in the Fine Car Championships again this year. Only 5 points behind the winner, which was a Porsche, compared to his 1969 Escort 1600! Despite being nowhere near crossing the line first, on handicap HWCFA was pretty much ahead until today, but the superior power of the Porsche allowed the driver to push it to the limit - risking a complete wipeout - and the consequences are not worth that extra risk just for a #1 decal on the car next year. I would think it's a bit of a hollow victory for the Porsche considering what he was up against.

Who knows if HWCFA will race again next year? I hope not, because I'm rather tired of the stress and strain of preparation, the foul language wafting up through the floorboards from the garage on weekends as various engine parts are hammered apart and hammered together again, and of course the lack of any home maintenance for 10 months of the year! He professes to enjoy it all, but I think that maybe it would be better after all to retire while still ahead of the pack. The new younger drivers are throwing money into their sport, while HWCFA has always done everything on a shoestring and without modifications. The results have shown that he is a superior driver. What else is left to prove?
