It is something very special. Kind of hard to put into words though. But I will give it a shot. Have you ever watched Super Trucks run at MARCCA but not watched the race but instead the smiling drivers? Ever notice how most of the time Super Trucks drivers will elect to invert the grid for the main? How many times have you watched a senior MARCCA club member share a setup or actually take the time to make the changes to another persons car to make it more competetive? Why does the practice after racing at MARCCA look just as enjoyable as the actual racing?
A short answer to your question Dayrl would be that in the Super Truck main Tory, the # 1 qualifier, pulled over to let the rest of the field go first reminding me of Tory's good sportsmanship. This answer would leave out the real feeling of what I was reminded. If you roll all the things from the first paragragh in with how Tory worked his way up through the field eventually to a position right behind Jason. I can't even begin to count the number of laps that Tory sat behind Jason. Both working through traffic, Jason holding an incredibly tight line with Tory right there but never a hint of aggressive driving. In the last turn of the race just before the loop Tory trys to cut under Jason but cuts the track instead. Some say Jason's truck crossed the loop first but the computer registered Tory as crossing first even though it was tumbling over the pipe. A small debate followed but what was interesting was niether Tory or Jason were in the debate or seemed to really care either way. Jason just laughed and teased Tory saying "he should have won".
There is a certain "spirit" as Jason calls it that MARCCA is able to offer its members if they are willing to embrace it. The shear joy of running your remote control cars with friends. Speed, skill, sportmanship and trophies might just be added benefits.
Keith.
