I sense a nerve was hit?

Man this thread moves fast...

No way was a nerve hit. I have seen this discussion come and go ALOT since i started racing in '94. Many have stated as i have, some with more... others in less words, how pointless this is. People will run what they want to run... controlling it will either run away racers, or make for a really fast, and SMALL group of racers in each "division". The facts are, you have to be "this high to get on this ride". ----------------------

So what happens? Everyone wants their own theme park so they can have fun on the ferris wheel. Dude, the line is there for a reason. In this case, its the finish line... and the majority of racers feel cheated if they cant cross it first. Well, my point is, quite simply... someone HAS to be last. Its racing. No need for an essay, or opinions, or what ifs, or even cue cards to get through this simplistic discussion. You race, you win or lose. If you dont like losing go home and play a PS2 or XBox or whittle a whistle out of wood... maybe build some ERTL models? If you LIKE losing, then you will be BACK at the track for some more laps, and wont MIND spending the bread it takes to compete. YES... you have to spend time and money to beat those fast bastards at the local track... and NO it aint gonna happen in a year... or even two or maybe even five. Depends on skill level, eye hand coordination... ETC. But more importantly, it depends on your level of dedication. Your ability to LOSE for overall GAIN. Not everyone is cut out to be a racer... just as everyone isnt cut out to be a porn star. It just seems that some are more willing to understand the latter... for obvious reasons visible in the mirror.
