Good for you. I'd still suck @ b-ball.

Maybe they have 6 runs, so 306 seconds of fun for 9 hours of work. Thats a work/fun ratio of about .009.

Valid point.

It's OK Nick to enjoy AX and stand by your feelings but I'm afraid I disagree with your interpretation completely.

Maybe it is boaring to you. there is lots more to AX than meets your eyes. It takes great skill and foresight to get the fastest lap cold, without practice laps for a whole day in advance, although I enjoy time trials. I also think that Pocono North is boaring, but the East course and shenandoah I probably like for the fact that they are both more like large AX courses. That is the driving part of the sport.

As to the enjoyment, it comes from the close competition of many entrants, and finishing places are measured in 1/1000th of a second. there is an AX every weekend between April and November, they are accessible, affordable to most and competition level is very high. the track guys are just NOW getting warmed up for the season, while I have 6 knotches on my headboard, between track and AX since March.
