mark Said "Yeah it's so easy and fun travelling the country wondering and hoping when/if you're going to win and be able to pay the bills. Why not try it yourself awhile and call yourself a touring sportsman pro. You'll win all the time too if it's so easy..."

Don wishes he could do what you all do so i could win like you guys do but at the present time it is not in the cards , so the only way i can beat a touring pro sportsman is with "Luck" which can show up any time cause i don't have enough seat time and practice for sure cause it looks easy being a touring pro sportsman cause they win more than all the sportsman combined .

It's more than just seat time.It takes understanding the dynamics of what we do,starting line,finish line,dialing the car,etc.Even still some guys can have enough seat time to grow award winning hemorrhoids and still never get good at it.It's called talent.

For those who think my hate you joke is malicious. I remember racing with Dan in the mid 80s and thinking this guy is just great at what he does.Tom his father was 20 yrs ahead of his time. He taught his son well and now the torch is being handed down to Thomas. So that being said I wont hesitate to hate Thomas as well. Dan I was worried that you were in a slump so I know your looking forward to my next post! LMFAO.

LOL Haddock...

I was in a slump. If it wasn't for Comp I wouldn't have won much at all in the last few years. With all of the advantages afforded by being a "touring professional sportsman" and with all of those wonderfulful extra laps down the track, I must really suck to win as little as I do.

Because as Don has so eloquently, and repeatedly, pointed out, ANYONE that races as much as I do would win all the time due to the TREMENDOUS advantage afforded to the "touring professional sportsman".

By the way, I hope to see you at NYIRP this weekend, as I'll be there running our family's 13 flat wagon instead of making excuses as to why I don't win and others do...

Someone told me YEARS ago about a comment that Edmond Richardson said after someone told him that he was the luckiest guy around because he was always winning. "Yea, and the more I race, the luckier I become" Bottom line is that you can't beat seat time/experience. When I started bracket racing sometime back, my "mentor" told me that I would have to learn to lose a hundred ways before I would ever win and he was right. Dan is good because he has raced and is still racing A LOT - Plain and simple. I can guarantee, though, that he would give up several weekends to be able to stay home and watch his kids play sports but he is on the road earning a living!!
