[quote=“fairgentleman Z,post:39,topic:34471"”] ??? How is it the opposite when the decision (then and now w/ 20/20 hindsight) and my arguments (for the most part) were the SAME? Just various people screwed me around on money (and three years later that hasn’t changed) and I couldn’t get my deposit on time. Winter passed and in spring I feel into, as Carrol Smith puts it “The SCCA trap…” Club racing is fun and all, but the only variable in racing should be the driver (not car choice, engine/ballast compensations, time and money put into the engine…) [/quote] I couldn’t remember exactly what you stated and i thought you had denounced karting because of reasons to do with not learning about driving a real car. Either way Karting was the best 4 years I’ve had racing but I will say that even in spec classes you are still going to have to deal with the person who spends more money on tires/equipment/practice ect ect. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/if-you-could-go-back/34471)._
