Agrees 100% but that's part of the reason they invented PAX.

Sorry Jim, I have to disagree with you on this one. When I take the car to timed track event I'm there to WIN, second place is the first loser.

Now, DE's, that's a different story since it's not a timed event (not supposed to be anyway) and there are no "Winners" and "Losers"
