Default Re: Pro Sportsman Racers

One of the things I love about drag racing is that anyone can win on any given day. Sure, the "professional sportsman" racers will win more often, but they have first round losses like anybody else. I don't think it's a big secret to anyone here that to become a better racer, you have to race as often as possible. I'd love to be able to race every weekend, or sometimes multiple times a weekend when bracket racing.

However, if we were doing any other kind of racing, circle track, road courses, where there were professional sportsmen, or touring sportsmen, or whatever you want to call it, racing in a class of normal sportsmen, they would win ALL of the time. Drag racing is much closer, thousandths of a second instead of seconds margins of victory. You never know who's going to win in stock of super stock when you're beginning the weekend.

Oh yeah, and it's even cooler when you beat somebody who wins often!
