=========================
You guys slay me. I never wrote that it is easy to "be" (1) fast in mod
cars. (1:A term that compares the driver's times in relation to the top
dogs in the class.) Just that it's easier to go faster in a machine that's
specifically designed to just that, go fast. Far fewer "slow" compromising
parts/features to deal with and/or have to work around. Any Mod car had
damn well better go faster than my piddly Stock Class grocery getter or
either the car or the driver _really_ suck. ;^)
I know tons of folks that are faster than me no matter what they drive, even
when they're in "slower" cars. I also know some folks who are faster than
me simply because they bought/built a faster car, not necessarily because
they're a better driver.
Simply yanking and cranking the steering wheel quicker does not one a better
driver make. Faster, perhaps.
Prove me wrong. Loan me a CM car for a year. ;^)
