I read somewhere in a magazine where a few "old" SCCA racers where taking about that. I really got a kick out of one "old" chaps comment... " what do you mean ...cheating?...I thought we were racing?...and not trying to go to heaven.." One point of view...

If that's your attitude then you should go play in NASA's PT Unlimited class. If you think you're that creative an engineer and that good a driver, then be a man and put it out there. Out and out unlimited racing definitely has it's place, but so do performance classifications. IMHO, you're not a man if you sneak around behind everybody's back to win a race in the kiddie pool. That's like an MMA Champion picking fights at a school yard. It doesn't prove a damn thing about you except you're too play with the big boys.... too insecure to compete in a situation where, GOD FORBID, you might lose! I haven't really had a chance to race yet, but when I do, I'm going to play it strait. I'm confident in my abilities in car preparation, and my potential in driving. I also know that cheating won't allow me to completely meet that potential. I'm confident that WHEN (not if) I lose, it won't completely crush me, because I have more important concerns in my life than what a few local, low budget, amateur racers think of me, and I already know that I'm not important enough for any of them to give a rats ass where I place anyway. My $.02 Mark D. |

My $.02 Mark D. It's nice to think in black & white. I thought my car might be light for XP but was too lazy to prove it (the old ignorance is bliss defense), so ran most all the season in XP. Doing the NT event , I had the oportunity to have the car weighed and it was 40 ish pounds light by their scales so then ran EM.....one fella who had weighed their car said the SCCA scales were 50 lbs off..(light)..go figure. Now one can make a federal case out of my cheating, but remember it when you find yourself just a little bit pregnant. |
