One of the reasons I like class racing is all of the great people I have met and already know. I have not met any unpleasant people at all. They are all very friendly and helpful. Everyone makes me feel right at home. When I get beat, I usually go to their trailer to congratulate them and talk for a few minutes. Sometimes I glean a little information, and other times they give me some advice on how to be a better racer. Where else can a beginning class racer go up against a multi time national champion, get beat, and later get advice from him on how to get better! Priceless. I love this sport and I feel privileged to be a part of it. Derek
