At the autocross today, a gentlemen that I hold in high regard was in my class in a Civic Type R.  I assumed that he'd crush me, this is a guy with some national wins and who has given me pointers many times over the years. By some miracle, I was able to sneak past him and land in third place in class, bumping him to 4th. Exiting the course, he gave me a smile and a big thumbs up. A class act all the way.

Well done. It's fun when you pull out a great result.

Yup, rock on. At the end of the day, it is kind of a team sport.

This is great, and I'm lucky to say that it's very typical for the local clubs. "Come for the cars, stay for the people."

It's not just a cliché.

Amen.  That's the difference between drag racers, circle track and sports cars.  
    People are happy for your success in sports car racing even if it's a mid pack finish.  I'm happy to share help or ideas with competitors and they do the same for me.
