Well, as some of you may know, I just got back home from an Atlanta Regional SCCA AutoCross meet.
It was absolutely nuts. The people were great. The organization was awesome. The level of safety was very high. Hell...why don't more people get off the streets and get into this stuff?
Yeah, I know, drag is lame, drag is boring. I agree. That's why I don't do it. I was also into twisties on the backroads and stuff, or messing around with people on the street. But after today...WOW. Straight up...just...WOW. Paid 40$ (cuz I'm not an SCCA member) and got a whole lot of things that you don't get with street racing. Well, first off, you get ALOT less risk of getting busted. There was a cop or two AT the event, just watching. You got congratulations...EVEN if you didn't come in first, second, or third. You got congrats just for being new. You got times that you could compare against your previous, or future runs, and even against other opponents.
So seriously...street racing FTL. It's not worth it. QD was right. Why didn't I listen to him long ago? No...don't call me out as a "QD NUTSWINGER." Cuz I'm not. I talked to him about getting into racing, he helped me into the scene a little bit, and I do agree with many of his points, but this post isn't about him. It's about getting your asses off the street...quitting putting people's lives (other than your own) at risk, as well as your license and insurance, and get to the track! It's not that expensive, and it's fun as helll!
I hope some of ya'll follow my lead, or the lead of those before me.
Hope to see some of ya'll at the track. I KNOW I'll be back.
