I actually raced one of the Crosley. Slow is too fast a word for them but because they were pretty close to the ground they were fun to drive.
Oh, and the Crosley was the only car in its class which pretty well guaranteed their winning. And the Fit will outcorner a Crosley even if the Fit is fitted with 145 section tires. There's a guy here who has several of them.
