how can anyone be "too fast" in racing??? doesnt a fast class leader
inspire and lead the others to drive faster? if it doesnt then we should be
more supportive to the catcher-ups so they dont get discouraged. (hey
that's me! :) )
i am a bottom feeder results-wise, but on the positive side, i will thank
especially rich urschel, katie, stuart langager, andy mckee, charlie davis,
darren maddams, sobie, mike camicia, howell, pete mottaz, don mckenna, brian
nemy, kirk meline, john lawrence, au, and more i have missed (sorry!) that
have been very generous in personally helping me with car or driver
development when i asked!
