=================================
But some of us actually like the challenge of trying to make a turd go fast.
What I mean is, and this isn't gonna come out quite right but, it'd probably
be easier to trophy in a "fast" car such as a CM car. But it takes a really
good driver to make a Stock Class car (with all of it's Stock Class car
limitations and compromises) go fast around the course, and do it without
rolling the car.
To quote a local CM guy, "Flame on". ;^)
See you on course.

Then we race together. We can ride forever
Wrapped in horsepower, driving into fury
Changing gear I pull you tighter to me
I'm your turbo lover. Tell me there's no other.
I'm your turbo lover. Better run for cover
