But who wants to race a mx-6 or toiletta?
It's more fun and more satisfying to race and win in
what you *want* to race, alleged competetiveness
be damned. Anyone can win in the class ringer
(well, NOT anyone). That's no way to have fun, IMFO,
unless psychologically, winning at all costs is
what's critical, not winning your way in your choice
of race cars. I'm with Steve all the way! I'd rather
be second in my 4KQ that win in some japcrap, NOI,
but then that's the way *I* have fun. Winning consistently
in my 12-year-old, heavy, underpowered, non-
competetive 4KQ is a BLAST! Power to ya Steve!!!
I do however agree that sinking a TON of money into
the 4KQ to try to make it a winner at Nationals may be
a mistake, unless one is totally comitted to the car and to
proving just how competetive the car can be, knowing
that other less expensive-to-prepare cars with a
higher probability of winning are out there. Steve might
not win Nationals, but he will prove how far one can go
with the 4KQ and I respect that.
