You're right, that's when it's good. I really enjoy seeing someone unheralded going in and kicking a$$. Doesn't happen very often in NASCAR or other forms of racing.

Best analogy I can think of is privateers campaigning against contracted professionals. I was a former licensed pro motocrosser but never made it to the top and multi-million dollar contracts. THe factory guys all had very trick, exotic bikes that were just better than what any amateur could afford. But there were those days on certain tracks that us privateers got it done.
