I hope that everybody realizes that we are all competitors and winning or finishing high is nice. But! Racing is something we do at the end of a busy,hectic work week to unwind and have some fun with our friends and fellow racers. Lets remind ourselves that we are only racing R C cars and that our lives and responsibilites will go on no matter if we finish high or low on Saturday or Sunday.
The two races I've been to since my return have been a little disturbing. The whole attitude of most people today is on a rapid decline!! You'll be talking to an aquaitance in the pitts who seems like someone that you could become friends with....seemingly upstanding individual. Then you hit the track and it's like everyone except yourself has the gangster attitude. Things don't have to be this way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We can be competitive,race hard , but still be fair and humble. Enemies are easy to make, but they are worthless in your life and usually in theirs as well. Friends can be hard to make ,but once you have them they are a priceless gift that will always be by your side, and they will be the ones willing to forgive and forget.

I really do think that people who are curious enough to take the plunge will be happy racing an electric and stick with it

Thank you for the kind words Michelle! It's nice to know that you would return the "friendly" offering after I've looked through your Beastiality addiction. Although disturbing, I'm not going to judge you because you like farm animals!
I agree with the second post as well but also know that I do not condone the fact that you'll take somebody out for a position!
Just a couple of suggestions here:1: Announce at the beginning of each race you attend that your not there to make friends!
2: Paint your car "Back Marker Orange/Red" so fellow racers know to avoid you on the track!
3: Offer people money to race your class to give them false hope of winning cash, but HACK them on the last lap and take the money you offered!
4: Take me with you when traveling! Trust me, you would never have to listen to SHIT like that!

OSR's
Rob may need to split things up a little more this year...competitive, fair, and humble class and straight up gangster class.
Hopefully we can have a drivers meeting every raceday and go over drivers etiquette (I think that's how it's spelled
).
