From what I saw at Petit Lemans, the GTC drivers were saying that about the GT drivers, and the GT drivers were saying that about the LMP drivers...........................

I will be in blue group next month at VIR DE, and I will be saying it about anybody with more than 200 hp..........

The only time I have ever raced along with Cup Cars was at the PCA/ARCA race at Thunderbolt this summer. They were as courteous as any group I have ever run with, and my car was in the slowest class on track. You have to be a LOT more aware, and plan well ahead when you see one or a group of them coming. If there were 3 nose to tail then I made room for them. If there was separation and it meant me losing time, to the apex I will go. I can re-tub my whole car for about $6K.... don't want to but just sayin.

The difference is they are professionals and get paid.

Not true. Very, very few of them actually get paid.

Wow.

And club racers wonder why the fields keep shrinking.
