US: nice trailer, expensive racecar-happy campers.
Them: WorldSpeed's rig. An "Arrive & Drive" program, just fly into Sacramento, hop into your rental car. Show up at the track and ask "Is my car ready"??? Guess how much that costs??? Attach file:  IMG_1280.JPG (593.37 KB) IMG_1279.JPG (651.33 KB) |

LOL.
As my dad says - "The difference between racers and Steering Wheel Holders".... I however don't harbor any ill will to people who can do that.... Personally if I had the money, I'd proudly strut around the paddock knowing full well I was a Steering Wheel Holder.... Hell I'd be tickled to death if I could race like that... Actually I'd only strut the paddock for a short time because, mostly I'd enjoy just kicking around in the "Racers Lounge", nibbling on some Beluga and white Alba truffles until it was time for me to go out on the track. Ah yes racing as it should be.... Will |

Hey truth be know, I'm sure you'd rather be on the track with them knowing a pro prepped their car rather than them.

Some people build a car and some people buy it. Different strokes.

Well, they do have a driver's lounge in the trailer and one at the end of the tent, probably had the Beluga there.  At roughly $6-$7,000 per driver, they could afford it. Funny that my driver/owner beat 2 of those guys in Race 1 and this was his first race ever. |
