Hey Guys:
Yes, GGF isn't the ideal place to drive or overdrive our cars. I certainly
have to work hard to get my car to go where I want (more my inexperience than
surface conditions) but that's part of the challenge of our sport. If we
always enjoyed a great surface, we'd be weaker drivers when traveling to
other sites to compete. Bottom line is we should always try for the best
(and the really important people do) and the rest of us should appreciate it
and be thankful for having a site. Look at those Fresno folks, didn't they
lose their only site ? Would hate to be over there !
But hey, opinions are ok, but let's be realistic too. Oh yeah, just wait til
the Supra is put back together, marbles or not, I'm going after FTD in DSP,
ESP, CSP, BSP, and any other class that might be similar, yeah, yeah, yeah,
rubbermaid, glad bags, hefty, garbage, wastebasket. (Don's novice effort at
trash talk)

I'd definitely have to say that I'm with Navid on this issue. I don't want
to sound ungrateful (don't hate me John!), especially since I think my car
performs better there relative to most others (AWD). But on the other hand,
I have never felt so frustrated with my car and my driving than at GGF. On
most occasions, I've had to work my ass off behind the wheel to get my car
to go where I think it should be going. It starts to take the fun out of it
for me.

Wow Charlie, that's a great response! That's why you are our fearless
leader! So the answer to let's run on better surface is "stay home, we have
enough people".

Gotta go work on my overdriving now

That's fine with me. When we get 270+ at GGF, I'm glad there are some
people
who stay home. I'd love to have a brushed concrete site in the Bay Area,
but
we take what we can get. I've seen marbles at every site we run on. I'm
not
why so many people think GGF is so different... I think there's a lot of
overdriving going on.
