Diesel RVs: Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: 300TD VALVE STEM SEALS

Oh, I love them. I used to race myself. But, in the beginning (1970's) we used to park outside the fence and watch them from the street and hills. Then they planted rose bushes to climb the fences, then they had cops on horses patrol, then they put grandstands in front to block the view. Now it is pay your way in, or nothing. If the tickets were $5 or $10 I would go, but I am protesting the commercialization of our 1950's "sport"
