I have to say the Japan guys will kick the US ass any time and any place in any class stock or mod the pride of the Japan guys will not let them fail in anything, with us American we have thinks so easy, PRIDE take the back stage in things we do, and that's sad, and for team drivers racing stock, you have to look at it this way, one person will do well in stock and not mod so he will stay in stock, i will agree that after a few win in stock the team driver should try something different say 19t, and then after a few win stepup to say 12t, now there should be different class in mod, say one class 12t limit and a open class mod for lower turns, but that's my opion, don't get me wrong i am an American that fought with American, which i don't think most of you guys did so there you go let's stop the talk and get our PRIDE back and kick some Ass.
