Much easier now to understand why someone might be sensitive to people parking in (or near) a handicapped spot. (Not meant as a bash to the OP since, if he parked in a handicapped space in a vacant lot, his usage likely impacted no one.)

When it comes to people that are so inconsiderate that they violate disabled parking space laws, I'll police as much as I damn well want to on Rennlist. But instead of flaming, I'd prefer to try to enlighten you. Non disabled people that park illegally in disabled parking spots usually do have some excuse to justify it - maybe the parking lot was empty. If so, use another parking space. What you don't get is that doesn't excuse it. You are effectively blocking two disabled spaces. What if a disabled person pulled up to park?
But instead of duly noting my "outrage", consider learning learn from this input, understanding the perspective of a disabled person who all too often sees non-disabled people take up disabled parking spaces, and perhaps in the future be a little more sensitive to others who are not as fortunate to be able-bodied.
Regardless of my comments above, looks like you have a really nice C2S. Congrats again.

Now, in my defense we were not parked, but were simply emptying the trash and personal belongings from the car in a 98% vacant train station on a Saturday afternoon for eight minutes. If by some odd chance 8 handicapped people came in and took the open spots then a ninth and tenth came in with nowhere to go I would have moved. We only took the spot because it was close to the trash can.
Congrats on continuing to race, my wife wants threatens to put an end to my DE career if I even come back from NJMP with a sunburn.
