It's funny Mike how standing on the sidelines for alot of years and exploring how the sport and more interstingly, how the scene works !!! is a very interesting way how motorsports work in general.

The big picture in Nascar, Indy, F-1 Etc... is money!!! and how much you can spend on Technology!!!!

Just like anything else, you know full well like an F-1 Driver, you can tell an average Joe every setup you have,and he/she will still try a different appoach, Then they will ask what is appropiate such as a question as shown below.

what tire shore your using, what type of shim you may have in the head of your engine !! what gears you are using, & what type of drugs your on, and the type medicines your mother is taking, however, your talent automatically takes over and you dominate a race as if nothing happend at all, and all was going well!!!

SOme people have it , and some people do not !!!

The best thing to do, is to start breaking it down a bit, and earn your staus via Novice, Intermetaiate, Expert, Pro !!!!

Let me tell you why...As much as like racing and hanging out with people at the track there are a lot of reasons why Jeffrey and I can't run around and race everywhere. For myself I have a job that has to be taken care of, the responsibility of taking care of a daughter, and other family. For Jeffrey he has a lot of responsibility at work that has to be taken care of and he has to travel to Taiwan for weeks at a time.

Chris is right. It takes a lot of traveling to make a national name for yourself. I travel as much as anybody in Region 12. There are very good local racers in every region that aren't well known around the country for exactly the same reasons. I am not saying that Region 12 doesnt have a very competetive group of racers, because it does. I will say there are plenty of other fast guys in different parts of the country. That is one of the things I like about traveling.

I am who you are talking about. I am new to the "scene" and I have a question for you: Why do you have to be good to be into the scene? Obviously at every track around the world there are guys who are just gifted at the sport, and some who will always be working on it, constantly practicing and working on getting better. Now sure I (Joe Novice) am going to suck at first. But didn't everybody with the exception of a small number of naturally talented drivers? Just because I'm fustrated with my own ability and I can't win just means I work harder LIKE EVERY ONE ELSE DID and I dice it out with the rest of the back markers, we're racing to right? As I continue to race I learn, and I get better and eventually get good and might win. And guess what? Off the track I am having fun hanging out with everyone in the pits while they help me and so on. Why are you so bitter about new people? BTW...Kimbrow, Strack and Jim Adkins were all in the A-Main at the GLC and ALL FROM CALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys.

All this talk about 2 day, 4 day, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, tire wear, etc..... Just schedule it for late September or early October (at least a week before the sedan nats), quit complaining, and let's have some fun!

What we will do for the race format:

Upon signup, drivers will specify what their skill level is Beginner/Novice,
Sportsman, Expert/Factory. For bigger events, we will include Masters
(45+ years old).

We will setup heats that way and seperate the mains according to skill level This should satisfy everybody.

Garen - Congrats on the birth of your second Son!!
