Hi Guys,

Reading this this thread I was wondering if everbody is not missing the point about both the Nationals and the Shelby Fest.

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the whole idea of these weekends was to go out and just have some fun. Isn't being a very part time racing driver more about going out and trying to improve your own lap time ( you and your car against the elements and your nerve ).

For me personally its about being able to drive my car to the best of my very liminted ability.

If you really want a direct comparsion between lap times you have to have very strict one design rules, otherwise what is the point.
I do alot of sailing in a one design class where everything is measured to within plus or minius 2mm.

The officals are only trying to do the right thing by everybody.

But at the end of the day is not just about going out and having fun, then siiting back and having a beer at end of day and talking about how much fun it was.
