This type of comparison is pretty stupid.

Autocrossing is a sport in and of itself. It takes a certain skillset to be good at autocross, and a slightly different skillset to be good at track events. Sure there is a little bit of overlap between the two, but saying one is superior to the other, is just plain ridiculous.

If you don't "get it", or you suck at it, or you just prefer to do something else, then fine, do it. If you have creative feedback, or suggestions to make it better, that's one thing, but don't come in here and piss on someone else's hobby of choice. That's just childish.

assuming this is directed at me, i wasn't making any attempt to disparage autoxers, nor did i post the triangle graphic claiming that w2w was superior. i just offered a possible explanation on why that graphic exists in the first place, along with an (attempted) humorous analogy because frankly i just love analogies. every culture/subculture has hierarchies, either real or perceived, legitimate or stereotyped, which will always be the subject of jokes. within the w2w realm "real" racers tease lemons/chump wannabees, bmwcca folks look down their collective noses at nasa, euro drivers characterize domestic classes as neanderthals, etc. and each of these snubs exists equally in reverse. in computers we have

and each of those gets broken down. inside the linux camp it's debian vs redhat vs slackware/gentoo. and then the debian crowd breaks down into original vs ubuntu vs mint. and then ubuntu has gnome vs kde vs icewm or whatever. if you can't laugh at yourself, expect others to do it for you

Just to bring this thread back on track, I’ve asked the bimmer guys to post up our schedule on their website. I’ve also posted in the forums of the local mustang club, the bullitt website and NCEURO.org. Hopefully we can generate some more interest this year for all of our events. We are also in where2race on and facebook. Hopefully we can get some more interest. If you hang out on any other car related websites, please post our schdule if you can. We need to get the word out for this year that we're ready to roll.

I'll link it at S2ki.com. A bajillion S2000s in STR can't be bad marketing, right?

I just posted an article with a link to both of our upcoming events in Danville over in the Triangle Miata Roadsters events forum.

It is hard to get new younger enthusiastic people who are interested to participate when certain relatives have attitudes.....just sayin'

yeh. and i would like to thank whichever one of you geniuses that told my wife that there is a life sized poster of me hugging a giant beer can at the next event. she didn't take it very well.
