My apologies for my recent rant.
My apologies also for the lite foot pace setters. They apparently lacked knowledge about the difference in cars and maybe a little racing curtsey also. I have heard of one cycle power car driver say that if he was on the pole that he would set the pace at his own speed. This does not sound like a very knowledgeable or considerate race driver to me. Had I been in a shaft drive car using my 20>20 hind site I would have just got out of line and demonstrated a more suitable pace speed. When stopped I would attempt to explain to an official what the problem was.
I would like to see these cars race together. Like in any other kind of racing we have several cars and drivers that would have no problem racing in a National Midget race indoors and being competitive, (we were just a tick over 10 second laps last week on our DAQ). We are also blessed with other combinations of cars and drivers that aren't quite ready for "Prime Time".
We wish you guys good luck in the race on the 15th, and hope you pull a bunch of cars. This is your time to shine.
