At the Fall Finale, in 4wd SC, I went from the B-qualifier to the A-qualifier, literally by just dodging traffic.

If you do nothing other than dodge traffic jams in qualifiers with those people, you'll get bumped up or you'll at least win races against those fools.

I like to think of it more like dodge ball...

Maybe we can get the class cleaned up if we can get some of the cleaner drivers to participate. Plus Motorama is coming...

From Dictionary .com

1. an uneducated white farm laborer, especially from the South.
2. a bigot or reactionary, especially from the rural working class.

I don't see how placing this label on someone who drives SC is a fair assessment. I pit on a weekly basis with two of the most courteous drivers I have ever seen and both run SC. A dirty driver is a dirty driver and usually takes more advantage of the weight and covered body of a SC rather than an open wheeled buggy. A label like that is usually used when someone no longer can contain their emotions and is not thinking clearly or... Well I'll just leave it at that.

I grew up around rednecks constantly trying to beat me up, so I know what they are, thank you.

Just to be clear, I did not state that people who drive SC are rednecks. I said SC is a redneck class (at least from what I've seen in the U.S. Northeast). I race in SC myself, so I think I have some license to speak to this here.

If you really are that offended by me calling it a redneck class (frankly, I think it's funny to call it that, but whatever), then let me put it another way - SC is like the NASCAR of off-road racing. Oh wait, that's a redneck sport too...
