    Yeah, but I have to humbly admit it's no worse than some of the discussions we've had about the SM drivers.

    It's plain and simple. No one likes running with other groups.

    It's not about cars, its about drivers. When another driver messes up our race, we get mad. Human nature.

    To be honest I really don't have a problem with other groups, but then again I have never run with a bunch of SM's either. It was REAL interesting during a test day at Road Atlanta last year with me in the IT7 and the guys running the Trans Am series running together. I found out they were not that much faster in the turns, but once they reached a straight, fugetaboutit.

    One thing about that thread is I now know where Matt Weisberg went.

    Well that explains why my vid has had so many hits over the past three days. I guess using the "but I had no rear brake material left" excuse isn't going to cut it....

    Not to resurrect this thread or start up any fights, but wow, I never knew that Prod racers were afraid of us hard-chargin' knuckle-draggin' backy-spewin' girl-chasin' beer swillin' IT drivers. Now I know why there's been this divide in the paddock between IT and Prod.

    Guess that means if I ever race against Prod cars, I know to psychologically intimidate them in the corners! (Just joking!) Oh wait, they'll already be on their guard when they see me coming....

    Sorry about that Steph, but you know who most of us are! I'll try to be more gender-sensitive next time...
