Dude. you can't do any worse than I did on Sunday, I mean shit. Seriously though no one really cares how good you do unless you BEAT them. A lot of those people could care less what your times were.

And for me, it's not about doing good. It's about having FUN, and getting a nice run or time is just an added bonus. 5 years from now no one will remember you got a horrible time auto-x run.

And, It really blows the mind of the some of the hardcore people when I tell them I'm there to have fun. I mean why the hell would you want to have fun when you have to beat all these other car's times. But you can have fun and be competitve I have nothing against that, but some of the guys think there is something wrong with just having a good time while being completely out of the running for a top time, some of them can't serperate the two.

One guy was being kinda jerky(matt you know who) when I told him the only reason I'm in a divsion called STX is b/c of my 17in wheels. He tried to convince to go to a stock class by taking my wheels off and using the stock ones. He theory was that why should I even bother in the STX class unless I have all the stuff to go with it like sway bars and springs and shit. I just told I was there to have fun and he looked at me like I was crazy.

BTW the guy in the above example was in the stock class with a Silver WRX, MAtt if I'm not mistaken he was able to chrip his tires coming around the U-turn going into second, can a stock WRX with a straight pipe muffler do that? Or do we even care about that? I know we thought he might be running a gutted up-pipe and likely a re-flash. I really wonder if though Vegas guys have ever REALLY checked his car.
