Why Class Racing Is COOLER!

[JP1738]

Thanks again guys! I do not deserve the accolades but I certainly appreciate them.

No offense, but years ago while running SG and SST exclusively, I never understood class eliminations and I thought they were sort of silly. I'd look at a class with only 2 or 3 people in it and see everyone hooping and hollering, taking winner circle pictures, and celebrating like they'd won the world championship and think "what in the world is the big deal, you beat ONE guy?". Well, I get it now. I got the win and the class wally over one dude and I couldn't help but be overjoyed because how much it means to me. Now I understand the amount of work and effort it takes to put a car together, make it (in my case) moderately fast, and get to the race track with all your equipment to make it happen. All of the hours and money spent in my shop and troubles just to get to the race track suddenly, in the blink of an eye, became worth it. It was all justified in an instant and I was completely overwhelmed with the realization and pride. I don't know if I'll ever have another moment like that and I absolutely do not take it for granted.
