They were so cool, wheel dots. *sniff*

Nothing slaps you in the face more than finding out where you stood on a national level like a good solid beatdown, in the Q main.

I recall hating it and liking it. I think the highest I ever got back then was 2nd in the "B", and I'm not complaining when you go 200+ drivers deep in a class. In fact, now that I think about it the last 2 times I raced masters at Cleveland I was in the "B"... SON-of-a-BITZ... I'm stuck in the B!!!

But it was nice to see it. You could honestly say back then and I think it was reasonable to say it. "dude, I took 34th. Makes me the 34th fastest driver in the country. 2 classes, everybody was in them, everybody was there.

Now, everybody is special and needs a trophy and a class, or the racing isn't "fair". Sometimes your gonna suck real bad, maybe even all the time. But that's why it's called racing and not simply, "winning".

I find I do a lot more "racing" than I used to. Now, to get masters age limit moved about 10 years older and toss out some of the young bucks. Or whoever we have to toss to finally get me in the show. that's the direction we should be pursuing.
