Very well said with one minor correction. The socially acceptable term is little person. Other then that, right on!

Not funny... I've fallen from a stand, not over the rail but under. This is what it looks like:

[QUOTE=rcman182006;8347326]I know a few guys that do that, including myself every once and a while, I call it being "in the groove" lol, I also do it racing on my 360 from time to time

When I'm in the zone I will start moving the controller a bit, but when I'm playing 360 the controller turns into a steering wheel.

Theres a local kid thats 5 or 6 yrs old. Used to he put his controller up on the rail and look through his arms to see the track. His dad eventually got him to stand on a stool.

What's wrong with a stool?? There are some big tracks out there that don't have tall enough drivers stands. That extra 6-12 inches of height that the stool provides can be a big help sometimes. They are especially helpful for blind spots created by obstacles. If you want to outlaw them, you've obviously never been to a track where you need one. I've seen chairs used, tall buckets, etc... All of which are much higher than a small stool. The real question is why would you want to outlaw them??? What harm do they do?

I don't know why it is a big deal either. I'm very short and have been surrounded buy large guys and if I don't have the step stool I can only see about 70% of the track. 30% arms, bellies, radio, and whatever else the guy next to me uses. I just want to be able to see the track. I make sure and keep mine out of the way when I am done with it as well.

+ 1 well said !! If they want to outlaw the stools for us shorter folks does that mean they want to outlaw the tall people from the drivers stand too? LOL makes no sence !just go race !! geezzzz !

Come on Doogie,

Who you trying to kid? You don't need a stool to stand on, you got hundreds of buckle bunnies that would let you stand on them. I've seen the pics. True story. Lol
