Default Re: DE, Why Bother?

I don't think I'll ever go racing wheel to wheel, somehow just does not capture me as an attractive activity. I agree with all of the above comments about DE; it is a relaxing activity for me as well, I push it when I want the way I want.

However, competing is quite attractive. All my driving since late teens have been in either some sort of stage rallying, hillclimbs, autox or timetrials. To me it is tremendously gratifying to pursue to magical perfect lap on a given track, and once I get it, which I never do actually, I am done with that track. That's how I get the need for competition out of my system.

I am hoping someday, as a Register, we will be able to organize time trials across the US or even abroad. That, to me, is very exciting. For now though, just going to the track with friends, driving together, getting drunk at night together, is more than satisfactory.
