Nick,



I don't think anyone is saying that being an AX'er is a bad thing. You don't need to defend/challenge it.



But I would hazzard a guess (answer) to your question.... the reason there are more DE'ers than AX'ers is that DE is more fun.



A day of AX consists of a handful of 60 second runs, a day at the track is roughly 80 minutes of track time. Unless you're at Pocono and then it's sit around in the fog for the morning and then go out in the afternoon.

When you kick yourself in the rear for eating breakfast that caused you to be 3/1000 of a second out of 1st place, and the competition is fierce, the 60 second run is nothing compared to the prep, study to get the extra 1/10th and talking to the other competitors. Competition is............ exciting. DE is sleepwalking. Try time trials.........

Anyways, how come Riesentoter does not do time trials at track events?

Because some participants seem to think they ran a second or two faster than they actually did. hock: Just go race in a field of say 70 cars in the rain. Now that's challenging and fun. Nothing wrong with autocross, but comparing DE and Autocross is not relevant. We had at least 20 cars that race NASA, PCA, and SCCA at the last event honing their skills and having fun.

Nick you always seem to pick this argument by trash talking DE & Road racing as if anyone is really listening.

The time trial scores (times) speak for themselves........

Those who know me over the years, know better.

No! You got it wrong this time. I'd just like to get some people's blood heated up (not boiling) a bit to get them involved in the club and AX. AX has gotten a bad rap at RTR. When only 8 people participate in a roadshow event out of 1200+ members............ it is not SAD, it is shamefull. It is not fair to have one person responsible for the AX program without a supporting cast, and make it a go of it. Why don't the DE people get involved and help out for this also to be a success? It is driving, it's competitive, it's bantering, it's fun. It may not be your first choice, but it is the most affordable club competitive event, right?

So who would like to take my CHALLENGE? I am not picking on anybody, and I don't know the exact formula, but I'm trying to help the AX program...............
