13's, 14's vs. 9's , 10's

So Yac, do you think that in the 21st century a 13 or 14 (or 15 or 16 or 17) second Stocker can be competitive against a 9 or 10 (or 8) second car?

Yes..."but" It always comes down to consistency ...of the driver and the car.

I will say that ,with a faster car, you're more likely to pick up a win light, here and there, with the 1st red light business, or when the slow car is inconsistent or tries to hold a few and then judge the finish line.
On the other hand , with a slow car, if you don't have the light going for you, you're down there , floundering around , trying to tighten up the finish line..Very, very hard to do against the big mph 8, 9, 10 second cars .
I think the big picture here is this observation from a former World Champ.
"I look at it this way. It's a percentage game..Leave on time and run close to your dial in, and you'll win more than you lose"
That holds true, no matter what end of the spectrum you're on.

Mark Y, I see at the bottom of your last post you chose to make a political statement about Tara Reade, does that also mean you believe the dozen of women who accused Trump.

This is a racing site and needs to stay that way.

Ken, you need to decide if this stuff stays off of here or open the door for everyone's views.

Fact is, that signature has been up for about a week. Yours is the first comment about it, either way. Might be something different next week.
Other than that, if you'd like to know exactly why it's there, you can always PM me.
NO more comment from me about it ,on this thread.
Meanwhile, would you like to discuss the subject matter?

Mark, doesn't matter how long it's been up, you knew it was political when you posted it, you also know there is a political section and that's where it belongs,.

I only see that the rules for "The Lounge" sub-forum state "no politics". Maybe I missed a different politics sub-forum? I see posts that imply that politics should go there (The Lounge). I'm good with no politics anywhere on ClassRacer. Just my opinion, of course.

This is all starting to seem like never ending re-runs of "The Twilight Zone"!

Alas, poor Tara Reade had a meltdown the other day. Seems she never filed a sexual harrassment complaint with any Congressional enforcement office like she said. And she can't remember who she made the complaint against. But now Faux News, Mark, HP Hunter and millions of other fanboys of Trump have egg on their faces. In reality Tara needs help and hopefully she will get it soon. She's a sad case.
