As for the winter 2 course being specifically setup for a RWD, that's bull shit. What Zigler was refering to was him and bridgette driving it in their GMC truck. I was also out there doing it in my Tacoma. Is that an unfair advantage? I highly doubt it. My tacoma handles a lot differently then my Talon does. Do I learn the course better? Maybe a little, but a good walk through or two can accomplish the same thing..
Final note. Not allowing people that helped setup be PAXed or compete for points is total bullshit. You'd be punishing people for taking time out to help setup a course for everyone to run.
basically, whatever.
you took two points and merged them into one. RWD and the "truck sideways through gates" is one idea. "unfair advantage" and "pre-racing" is another idea. TSCC is not a organization that cares about the feelings of every racer out there. it's like going into mcdonalds, and you can't even get an employee to
look at you
and say "can i help you" simontaneously, making you feel like another pion that's not important. And finally, mentioning on here (some how, i don't remember them anyway) is not mentioning it to every racer out there.

No one I talked too knew this was occurring. It was never announced in drivers meetings. ...... My issue was that it was not common knowledge the entirety of what was being done.
thank you

IMO you can't measure exerience, but you can measure practice. you never know, you could be right up there w/ the pros. what if you were like .4 behind the national drivers, w/out the practice, you never know, so how will you ever?
