Default Re: Pro Sportsman Racers

I can only come up with one person who I think makes his living from racing right now. David Rampy. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Why was Nolan Ryan such a great pitcher? Because he pitched 3 times as much as a normal pitcher. Was Michael Jordan born the greatest basketball player in the world? He was good enough to get on a college team but his work ethic made him the best.

We all know that seat time is the best learning tool, just never enough of it to go around. Hit the practice tree a couple hundred thousand times. Sit in your car and do practice runs in your head for as long as you can stand. Before every show the Blue Angles put on the pilots sit around a table and do the whole routine with their eyes closed talking to each other just as if they were flying. If it works for the most skilled fighter pilot's from the greatest country in the world, its good enough for me.

And why are the stands at the starting line. The race is at the finish line. Want to see what speed is, only one place to see it. The finish line spectating is a great way to lean techniques form all types of drivers and classes. Lets face it, how many people have a true grasp on a tenth, hundredth, or a thousandth of a second. I understand what these numbers (.000) represent, but what the mind can comprehend. The best can, my mind can't.
