Right now, the tt/ta/hpde model is taking over. Personally, I don't do anything without the intention of doing it well. |

I used to have the mindset that winning is all that matters when I was young and eventually I grew out of it. Wish I had sooner though because I missed out on a lot of "fun" because I was too busy being hyper-competitive. Youth truly is wasted on the young... I'm faster than I ever have been now, however I've learned to have fun as well and racing is just that much better. Sort of like achieving nirvana.. until I have to go back to work on Monday. Quote:
But the bold part stands out. Have done much W2W racing? I think you'd enjoy w2w racing more than HPDE, even if you're not winning. Drafting, setting up a pass, out braking, side by side - it's thrilling even if it's for 5th.

Unfortunately the classes/series I raced in never had super close fields, so after the first half lap or so, it turns into just an extended lapping session until the checkered. For the same money, I can go much faster, in a non-w2w scenario, in addition to not having to purchase and park a tow vehicle and trailer, as well as street drive the car(s). Just doesn't make sense for my case. Now, if I lived in an area where ground was much cheaper, or had the means to simply arrive and drive.... oh wait I'm describing my typical client. One day. Realistically, I think the only reason I'd go racing is to pursue a personal stretch goal of a plat. |
