Yes Navid, I can confirm from personal experience that the CG advantage of
the head-up-the-keester driving style is more than negated by other negative
consequences.
The amazing thing about Randy, I think, is that from SFR Round 5 (March 25)
until AAS Round 11 (August 4) this guy DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A WORKING CAR TO
DRIVE. He missed the Atwater Pro and Divisionals as practice against the
national hotshoes. Then he bought another MR2, set it up in 1 month, and
took 4th at his first Nationals.
And he is such a modest guy that he is seriously going to kick my butt for
writing this!
Peter

I don't know about that Peter; I often drive with my head up my butt :).
I'm sure that's not the case with Randy though. Otherwise, he wouldn't have
won this award.
Congrats Randy!
