but, this is strictly my personal opinion, as long as no-one takes it as offensive, that is my goal. I like to see callouts that don't have a bunch of drama and namecalling just because someone took something too personally. The way I view it, if you make the callout, and the other party wants to negotiate some acceptable terms, why is it such a problem to compromise? When I raced a friend of mine's 500+ whp civic he had no issue going from a dig, which allowed me a somewhat fair shot, therefore I had no issue going from a roll, where he raped the shit out of my car. Neither one of us had a problem with the idea of being at a disadvantage, and at the end of the day, we were still friends.

Why is there the mentality of "I am not bringing my car out unless the race is for money" coming from? If you are bringing your car out to race, (be it roll, street, or track) it will cost money and put wear and tear on the vehicle regardless. When you race for the fun of the sport it seems that all the bullshit of 'grudge racing' goes right out the window.

I dunno, I just don't understand all the hostility in these threads over a legitimate callout, unless it is just attributed to immaturity. There is ALWAYS a faster car out there, there is ALWAYS a better driver out there, and there is ALWAYS a guy with more money. Why have these pissing matches to determine which one you are? If my STi made 1000hp and dead hooked in the rain, I still wouldn't throw around some of the insults and threats I see in these threads.

Maybe I just get that there are more important things in life than this car game, such as my freedom, my fiancee, and my bank account, so I don't understand the sense of superiority that some people get from being faster than others.
You said it just as I would've. It all boils down to the competitiveness of the human being.
