I think he's biased.

We need a fair evaluation of skills and character.

If low character counts, I'm in the running... I vote to add. Also lets consider making doing really stupid things a key criterion... I'm a shoe-in. I like the direction this is going.

Now hold on just a second. I know I'm the fastest. If I vote for myself to have the lowest character, then does that admission raise my character, therefore taking me out of the running?

Maybe we need an equivalency formula, based upon HP and number of at track arguments, with testimonials from those who have felt slighted as the tie-breaker. Then again, the slugfest between Zitzman and Savenor may already have this "distinguishment" locked up.

Well if you lied about how your character is the lowest then no. Liars can't have high character now can they.

Seems to me that those guys would win the real LC award.

I have been waiting for CC to chime in how some perennial backmarker is the best since they have a consistently high G-Sum.

I maximize G-Sum by spinning frequently. So total Gs generated per lap should count for something.... I hope.

Now, if I lie about having low character, then I'm a liar and have low character so that qualifies me. Howver if I tell the truth about having low character, then I have low character so that qualifies me.

I have highest G-Sum, and admit to low character.... send me my trophy.

But who has more LC... the that lies about it or the guy that HAS LC , but admits it and tells the truth. Would he not show some Character by telling the truth thus meaning he can't be that LC.. Ahh

... I vote for Chris Cervelli as the best Club Racer.

Maybe Chris Cervlli can chime in with some of the details on the 993RSCS he runs... as he fully admits the car is prepared WELL. I remember seeing it at Sebring, with air jacks to boot!

M... look its very simple... if I lie about LC, then I didn't have LC before I lied. But AFTER I lied, I now have LC.... which actually means in fact I didn't lie, so I don't really have LC..because when I thought I lied, I actually wasn't lying. BUT I had the intent to lie, and the intent to lie demonstrates LC regardless of whether I actually lied or not. Therefore I have LC.

On the other hand, I if have LC and freely admit it, that does not make me a person witout LC... just a person of such LC that he doesn;t give two sh*ts whether anybody knows it or not, which really demonstrates LC.

So bottom line, people who tell the truth are intrisically of lower low character than those who lie.

I admit I have LC... that makes me lower which makes me higher... now give me my freakin' trophy.

I absolutely positively do not cheat.... I am incensed and offended and take umbrage at the insinuation that just because I admit to LC that automatically implies that I would violate the sanctity of the rules allow fair clean competition.... and besides I can't afford to.

PCA certainly has a field of talented, fast racers. Now lets look at another side of PCA racers. There is a racer who drives (many times all night) his roll back hauling a GT3 944 Turbo from Tennesse. Races on a shoe string, talented driver but the unique thing about Mark Finley is he is a German Car mechanic by trade so he is helping fellow racers fix stuff when he should be getting his own car ready for his next session. Mark is the most charitable person I know. He is working on cars for people that he has never met just to get them back on track.
