....and when you reach level 4, you're solo. The group you run with after that should be based on how quick you/your car are. That's all I'm saying.
I'd rather not have to come in and do a hot pit fly by, due to a train of ten cars behind the poke in the bathtub holding up the show and causing everyone to brake midturn. It has little to do with awareness, on the poke's part, that ten cars are behind him. He could be M.S., it doesn't matter. It's basic car physics. To each is own
I also don't want to be the poke, pushing the snot out of my car, just to keep pace, in an attempt to get respect from other members, either. Back to the "badge of honor" thing. If I wanted to do that, I'd turn my attention to competitive racing.
PS. I retract any notion that politics pay a role in the way RTR's DE events are run. Forgive me for suggesting such a thing. We all know it's based solely on the driver's abilities....aheim. Now to serve my 10 year sentence in the green group, as penance for my previous post.

Unconscious Incompetent (Novice) – They don’t know that they don’t know how to drive
Conscious Incompetent (Enlightened Novice) – They know they don’t know how to drive
Conscious Competent (Beginner/Intermediate) – They think about the fact that they are competent drivers
Unconscious Competent (Advanced) – They don’t think about it, they just drive competently
I pulled this from the CVR-PCA instructor handbook, and I think it is really on the money as with regard to the rungs in the ladder to being an proficient driver. I like the way things are set up in the PCA, personally. I don't think politics have anything to do with it. I'd much rather be running with cars of different speeds who are track aware... we all see each other coming, and try not to hold up anyones progress
