It is whatever numbers he could come up with to support his case and make it seem more dramatic. Does it really matter if they are factual or not? :lol: Not sure why you seem to want to resort to a personal attack. I have not attacked anyone. Here are some more numbers I've "come up with"...

When they built the go-kart track ... where our Solo Paddock use to be ... for the first month or two, when they still let us paddock there ... we were't allowed to park on the special black topped track surface.

Re: Rainy Day Procedures?

2 pairs of shoes and socks, one set for wearing in the rain and one set for driving in. Waterproof is always prefered for the set you are going to wear in the rain, but racing in soggy shoes is most certainly no fun. Also, stock the car with a couple clean dry towels so that you can wipe off the bo...

Re: March FasTrack

Guys, The STC / STS thing is a *proposal*. Write in! And I'd suggest specifically mentioning the points noted here: both STS and STC drivers are feeling disenfranchised just by the mere thought of combining them. And point out that each class is among the largest classes at Nationals, Tours, etc. (...

I posted the numbers in a prior thread this winter... of the 45 or so Nat classes STC and STS individually were something like the 4th and 6th largest classes this last year. That makes them larger than 4...
