Fortunately, those egomaniacs are a small minority of the usual attendees. (and I suspect they really don't want anyone critiquing their driving)

The comedy of this entire 19 page thread thread is that it was started about a comment that was in no way a "put down" of DE's.
A single comment about not wasting money on the fastest wearing competition tires for a non competitive event has turned into a 19 page thread of twisted logic where I simply argued that running your already prepped RACE car at a DE isn't really any cheaper than running it at a race. The thread was quickly joined by people driving their STREET cars at a DE saying that I was wrong without bothering to read, much less understand, what I said.
Comedy. Pure comedy.

You guys make excellent points IMO. Only insecure folks with brittle egos put down others involved in the sport, at whatever level, for reasons such as these and other things. If you look at top tier working pros, top tier club racers, and even top talent instructors, I think you will find them to be very encouraging of those climbing the ladder. They may help those coming up by discouraging a focus on equipment too early in the learning cycle....but they will do it without condescension or put down. It's pretty easy to discern those willing to help, redirect, and encourage, from the true insecure ******** who so readily show their hot buttons.

Now we are getting somewhere!
Truth is that no PCA Club Racer will run in a DE because the DEs don't have a 13/13 rule...somebody might screw up one of their silly stickers!

Between this thread here, and this thread on Bimmerforums (Clutch In for Better Braking), it has been an entertaining week in Track Forum Land.
