I was going to sign up but decided against it. I don't wanna pay $45 to lose to Dan Chabanov again.

it's not really about getting 1st. plus there's 30 minutes of qualifying to try to get a fast lap time,hat should be fun. my goal is to try to qualify and i'll be really happy if hat happens.

if it's about getting first, there would be maybe 20 people that signed up and that's it.

My point was that, to me at least it doesn't make sense to pay to enter a race that you have no chance at winning.

I think he's won about 5-6 times now and last year he had almost a full lap in between him and the rest of the field.

you ever play sports as a kid? people don't pay to win, you pay to compete. when you try to win, that's where the fun is and how you'll learn to get better at anything.

I'll be there!

And I'm pretty sure I heard Chabanov will not be part of the race this year.
