I have to agree with AJ. I enjoyed running with the B group. I also run an MR2 and they are not the fastest ITA car. They would have to be built very illegel to be a full front running car. As far as running with B, the car was near the front of their pack. Which in return gave me someone to race with. The friends I have made from the B group said they enjoyed running with A. So why take away the racing from overall postion and put it to, "well let me drive the track, not duke it out, move over for the leaders, and now there's the checker." Boy sounds like fun to me next year. I'll move my car to another class so I can race with another driver. That is why I spent the money for the driver's schools. So I can race with other competitors, and most of all to HAVE FUN. It a trophy for the winners ( NOT MONEY ) and a thank you from the spectators for putting on a good race. The spectators don't want to see 25 car with 3 to 4 lengths between them just driving around. This will be my 2nd year of driving and I was looking forward to racing with B group again. Not to worried about what is coming in my mirrors. :( [/b]
On the other side of the coin, racing is a high speed chess game and when I'm not with the fastest group of cars I'm always thinking of how I can get a edge. Meaning if you see a faster car coming, don't think of this a a pain in the ass, think of this as a possible advantage and how you might be able to use the lapping car. Might be used for a draft some where, how about a block on your opponent or making a hole for you to shoot through? And at least for me, I try and remember who might help me or who is being an asswipe and blocking me because he never looks in their mirrors. Let me just say, you stroke me and what goes around comes around. You stay alert, hold your line and let me pass you cleanly and possibly point me by and sometime you just might get some help when you least expect it. There is absolutly no reason why different classes can have a great time racing together, all it takes is a little understanding and being aware.
