I don't know if it's the right section,
but I thought I would share how I'm feeling.

Basically, I love AutoX and I find it a great way to enjoy the car, and so forth.
I'm also OK at it and kick ass on some fast cars in my category as well.

There are a few things that makes me not enjoy it as much.
1. it's very political... full of BS
2. seat time is very minimal
3. can't be much more competitive unless I trailor another set of wheels w/ Hoosier dady.
4. I'd like to use more than just 1-2 gear.

I'm just thinking on focusing more on driving and seat time.
Am I the only one that thinks this or going through this kind of feelings ?

Pat, I can't comment on your specific situation and what the other guy was thinking. I CAN say that the incident would have been taken up with the marshals in our NASA region and a penalty would have been assessed.

I have run 16 road races and I am only aware of 4 incidents of contact in my run group (Big Bore - Vettes, Vipers, Camaros, Mustangs, Firebird, ex-Winston Cup cars, etc.). Two of the incidents were "racing incidents" and I know that one was caused by a failed part, the car losing control and getting into the other guy. In on of the other incidents, the two drivers were called in, one driver was penalized for the points for the race and no permitted to have this event as one of his "drops". I think after 3 visits to the "shed", you are not allowed to run for a season or something aggressive like that.

If it weren't that way, I wouldn't be running.
