Humility, indeed. I don't race any more, but am very active as a DE driver instructor. So there are no class rules to fret about. While back east (D.C. Region), I ran my 944 in the top run group, and routinely got eaten up by all the Cup Cars and such. That said, I gained a bit of a rep for pedaling my humble 944 fairly decently. I have huge respect for guys who are quick in the older cars. Everybody knows who the really good--as opposed to just really rich--drivers are.
I don't need to be the fastest, which is good, because I can't afford it. I do need to have a car I really like.
