Let me just ask something...
is it more fun for you to win your class against novices or is it more fun to come in 3rd against good drivers with cars prepped more than yours?
Should you only goto events that you think you can win at? Damn, i guess i better stop going to ANY event in Florida, because Elliot is going to show up and beat me.
(no offense taken and nothing against you)
I like to compete in a competitive class. what i dont like is no matter how well i drive not being able to compete on a mechanical level. that's all my favorite races that i have had have been ones that i have lost but came down to the wire (except 1 time in palm bay i won by less than one onehundredth of a second. that was fun) i love to compete and try to win from a disadvantage. i just dont like not being able to compete because others in my class "earn" more $$$$$
thats all jess for example next month although i could run my stock class im gonna jump all the way to street mod just to race some ppl i consider to be my competition. course im gonna give ol nessie a break for this one and race my 944 for the first time lol look out leonard/taylor/mark/alan/crizeg and all you other TR street modders.
Even within classes, some cars have advantages and disadvantages due to the design of the car. Look at F-Stock for example. Mustangs (V8 including cobra), Camaro's (V8's excluding SS), Crown Victoria's. Who has the advantage? Not the Crown Vic. The others are close enough that driver makes a huge difference.
944's (and all other sports car derived vehicles) are not elegible for SM.
Beware SM -- the lean maching is about to compete on the level... http://www.maximummotorsports.com/mmcopkg.html
