Default Rennlist Demographics

Just curious as to the average level of experience of the Racing/DE family here on Rennlist. It would be interesting to re-visit this in a few years to see if much has changed.

The poll is multi-choice, so pick all that applies, but be honest.

For all you lurkers, now's the chance to post something.

My only regret is that I didn't discover Porsches and track when I was a lot younger. But 'am having the time of my life now...

I had no idea how easy it could be to buy a car and get on a race track until waaaaaaay too late in my life.

Making the most of it now though

Weird, the percentages add up to 227.57%...

Could you vote for more than one option or something?

What Streak said - I was amazed at what they would let you do when you own a car and sign a waiver!

BTW Larry - I fell in between at least two catagories, so voted conservatively. It will help the Bell curve.

Yeah, I will have to adjust them at a later date, but you could possibly have a vote in each of the catagories - DE, Racing and track car.

I absolutely had to check more than one. My "racing" has been less than half of my track activity overall.

And for you guys who were amazed how easy it was to get on the track, think of the good ol' days where your choice was pretty much "get SCCA license and race"...........
