Well, for me, my enjoyment is almost entirely dependent upon whether I
am improving. The faster I improve, the more I enjoy. I'd much rather
get 2s faster and come in last place than win and not learn a thing.
I even have more fun helping another driver get 2s faster than winning
a regional event.
So, although I agree with your statements above, I don't think regions
should ignore the need to help drivers improve -- to setup the rules
to allow and promote learning -- for some, that's what its all about.
