    So what IS pro racing? Where do you draw the line between "club racing" and "pro racing"? Is it at touring cars? Because that seems to be what you think is not "pro". So what do you call BTCC and WTCC drivers? A bunch of club racers?

    and if we wanna play that game...

    I would consider rolex GT to be "pro." or ALMS gt, or other series like that. Speed world challenge is a great series, I love it, Ive been a huge fan of it for years, Ive worked it for several years too. But, i just dont consider it to be a true pro series. those guys have amazing talent, but it stil doesnt do it for me. id consider it semi-pro, like KC.
    the type of car has nothing to do with what is pro and what isnt.
    I dont know the BTCC and WTCC well enough to make my own personal judgment on it. which is what all this is, personal judgment. But I will say that as far as I know, I would consider DTM and Aussi V8 to be pro.

    let me ask you this, do you think Ken Block is good driver?
    lately, that has been my benchmark, lol. if you think Ken Block is cool, then you pretty much lose my respect as far as racing goes. lol.


    and its not the spelling. its the word YALL. I mean seriously. Yall? oh and my bad for not feeling like going back to correct my spelling on one word on the interweb because I think some super cool dude is gonna correct me.

    and before you even say it, which I think you probably will, I dont think Im some super cool dude either. in fact, I think Im an asshole with a hatred problem.

    To me KC is a stepping stone. Its a great place to get your feet wet in a pro racing environment, without the pro cost. I personal love to watch the KC series as some of the best TC drivers run there witch makes for some close racing. I am also a huge fan of endurance racing. SWC IMO is more of a "pro' series than KC.

    To tell you the truth, I am not to impressed with his driving. Its a lot of car and amazing video editing. Yeah, he can drive a car pretty well, but I would like to see him in a GT car.

    and yeah, yall. haha. im not a "redneck" or anything so not to sure why that came out.

    This goes back to my post where I said a majority is based on your character and who you know, not just your driving abilities. Ken Block never finished better than 3rd before becoming part of Team Subaru, still respectable finishes for a rookie. It's his charisma and motivation to push things with monster truck force that got him there...doesn't hurt to be in your 30's and part of a multi-billion $$$ business either lol! Good/professional driver or not, he has accomplished and is doing something every single person on this site can only dream of.

    what did he accomplish? becoming the biggest d-bag to ever get into a subaru rally car?
    I for one, dont dream of accomplishing that goal so speak for yourself buddy.


    btw, anyone know somewhere besides the airport and banks to exchange foreign currency. Ive got all this Canadian cash I cant do shit with.

    I would hope you don't aspire to be exactly like anyone's character, that would just be creepy.

    What has he accomplished? Co-founder of a million dollar business that was bought out by a billion dollar business. Driven for pro rally teams for years, driven on shows like Top Gear, participated in the x-games, etc...what true car enthusiast wouldn't want to have the chance to do all that?

    He's a douche, or portrayed as one, so what? I don't care if he was homo, I still would want a chance to be in his [racing] shoes, regardless of his character or personal life.
