Then I guess I'm an oddball (and I'm sure I won't hear any arguments to that
from people who know me).  I drove to Tallahassee (190 miles one way) on my
RA1s last weekend, took FTD, and drove home on the RA1s.  I'd love to see
some numbers to compare how many SP cars are trailered vs. how many stock
cars are trailered.  Bet they'd come out about the same.  Granted, not many
people would want to drive that far in a car with a 6 point cage and Momo
seat
with 450lb springs, and they probably wouldn't get off on wearing the
earplugs on
the highway, but a LOT of SP cars are driven to the events

Broad, sweeping generalities do not a valid argument make....
