I've been racing since the early 1970's. Back then you may have been able to make a case where anyone racing more often had a "much" greater chance of winning. Back then we didn't get RT's and interval times on our time slips. Most of what you learned was by "seat of the pants" feel. Now with index racing (no breakouts), most racers can cut a good light and run their index. No one one out $$$ you. You just have to pay attention to details, weather, track etc. That's what makes us better racers and makes it a fair place to race. We all remember about having to re-race to local racer (several times) until he wins. Most of those days are behind us.
