You only placed 65th overall on the PAX at the DC Pro despite winning STX. Give us some specifics rather than BS ego trash talk.

anybody half way talented sucks less than me, but until you run against me you have no idea and even then that doesn't mean I or you were in our best form or didn't have some other issue.

otherwise it only means stop elevating yourself until you run against a wider range of competition. If you are going to make an STR comparison the first place to start is with who is setting the bar that the PAX number is being based on.

the local STX drivers wiped the floor up with me just before the Texas Tour and Pro event, but the opposite occurred at those events. When it comes to local events this is not all that unusual for a wide variety of reasons. But go ahead and paint rosy assumption pictures and pull make believe rabbits out of your butt all day long if it makes you feel good ...

Jeff wasn't talking about local events. He was talking about DC Pro. We have raced against some of the people that you have raced against, but like you said everyone can have a good or bad day.

You really shouldn't be so hard yourself, I think you've managed some good finishes over the years. Quite a few of them, events in which we've both competed at.

Screw PAX, set the bar with raw time. It's more fun.

We all have our own ways of making ourselves feel good... I'll leave the rabbits up to you...

you forgot about painting rosy palm assumption pictures, by the numbers no less. I looked at the STR list for DC and I completed my 7th/8th National events this past weekend. If you are referring to that one event then I really don't see what there is to crow about relative to STR. I mean, congrats on the win and all; you were the man who came out on top in STX, but change the STX-STR pax relationship as a result ....?

at best I am hit & miss; more cone hits than misses, if I didn't have a good car propping me up I wouldn't be worth squat

Sell the RX8 yet?

Changing Pax was just a joke I now Rick looks at a bunch of results.

I didn't sell the car yet, I am in no rush. I have fun running it.

So was my bad @ss comment/reason. I am exhausted and the car needs yet another spring rate adjustment to tame it down. I have cancelled all my Tour entries. The Farmington and Toledo Pro events being back-back weekends will be enough long distance driving before Nats.

Just saw this thread, looking forward to seeing you guys run in STX! We're actually running in the same heat too.

Chris, would be good to finally see you again after how long? Two years? lol.

Still have to finish up a few things on the car. The weather looks great for the weekend. Hoping it stays that way. Looking forward to some fun fast courses.
