Not much cross over with track driving or hillclimbing so I just drive AX for fun in 3050 lb XP car. It is fun to drive up in a street legal XP car and beat trailered cars weighing more than 100 lbs less on race slicks

Oh yeah, there are some amazing drivers out there. At the same time, there are many average drivers out there who thinks they are good and tons of people who are into it a little too much. It's racing around a bunch of cones, big f-ing deal. Stock class is not really stock given most of the cars are trailered to and from the events, some of the shocks are so hard that they work almost like a spring. It's just weird rule/politics. I am happy running my local event, the days of sitting out in the sun for 2 hours for a stupid work assignment makes me want to puke. 5-10 minutes of run, 2 hours of work assignment? Screw that
