They still get up in the same group as toys/hobby. So although we might look at them as more. Talk to someone who is a outsider looking in. And they are just toys to them. Maybe big boy toys. But still. Which is fine,I can go with the big boys toys. But I am not the one that dropped all that money into it. So maybe that is the reason why I am not all up in arms about it all.
I dont really get mad at the other drivers. More so at myself then anything else. Then the marshals. Then come the other driver or drivers. But more so along the lines of 'what the hell was he thinking?!' I dont complain about it here or there at the track,or atleast I try not too. I see no point cause it isnt going to change where I finished. I just have to question why some people even bother to race(more so the new,out of the box,first time racing and little practice people).
But for those have have put that much money into their buggy or truck. You have to remember that your the one that is playing with fire when you put that truck on the track. A truck that costs more then a house payment. And your running it with people who have way less in their trucks. Not saying those people race like a noob. But maybe if you had less money put into it,like around what they have. You might think alittle different.
I try to stay clean when I race. There have been times both here and at other tracks I pussed out and didnt go for that inside pass in fear of crashing the other truck. I have lost laps and races because of it even. But I also know that this isnt oval racing or road racing,its OFFROAD racing. So the grip in the trucks will not always be there. The way the truck leaves the jump and how it acts when it lands will always be different. So I know,understand,and expect these things. Not saying those of you who are here dont do that. But I feel that some take it to heart alittle more then they should.
