dOOd, no way, DRAG RACING is the most difficult motorsport. I mean dumping the clutch as the light turns green, then shifting when the big yellow light on the tach tells me to, and trying really hard not to yank the steering wheel into the other lane.... [/sarcasm]

The margin for error in AX is razor thin:
The course (where turns/maneuvers are) is NEVER the same weekend to weekend, there is no practice, no pre-drives, no qualifying, all you can do is walk the course, You can't "see" your competitors on course or track in AX., and you have 3 shots to get it done.

Its a 99% mental sort of motorsport. That's all Mike was trying to say, I don't think he was trying to start an e-pissing contest.
