I've decided to have some more fun and bring back this thread! After the last time I posted about it everyone (well mostly Pete) told me to shut up and come back when:
A) I've won a race (check - 2016 Baja 500)
B) When class 10 has beat the winner of the TT Spec/Class 2 (check - 2016 Baja 1000)
C) When I personally have actually beat all the TT Specs/Class2 (check - 2016 Baja 1000)
D) When there is a safe way for the Class 10's to start in front of the TT Specs/Class 2 (check - Stella).
So lets review the facts again:
1) Prior to this Baja 1000, the only TT Spec to beat the Class 10's over the last 2 Baja 500 and Baja 1000s was Larry Connor. Aside from him the Class 10's consistently beat the rest of the class and beat them by a lot.
2) Larry Connor now races TT and at the first race he races TT the first 3 Class 10 finishers all beat the first TT Spec/Class2. So now no one can argue that our class isn't faster than the TT Spec/Class 2. We are now faster as both a class as a whole and actually faster winner vs winner. Case in point not only did we beat the winning TT Spec/Class 2 on corrected time, we all physically beat him by all finishing before him meaning we were still quicker even though we had to pass and get around 20 TT Specs and 1 Class 2. Imagine how much faster we would be if we didn't have to contend with all that NOR did we waste 30 minutes sitting in yet another bottle neck caused by a TT Spec/Class 2 at RM 50(ish).
3) Prior to this years Baja 1000 and the introduction of the Stella system the argument could be made that it was more dangerous to have a big heavy truck trying to come up from behind and pass a lighter buggy. Stella makes that argument invalid as proper use of the system allows for safe and strategic passing without the need to nerf anyone.
4) SCORE and TT Spec/Class 2 proponents have said that finishing times dictate starting position so......
ITS TIME FOR THE CLASS 10's TO START IN FRONT OF THE TT SPEC/CLASS 2's AT THE 2017 BAJA 500. If they beat us then I will gladly start behind them at the Baja 1000. If not we should start in front them again and again until they beat us and vice versa.
And before anyone reads too much into this I'm ONLY ARGUING THAT CLASS 10 IS QUICKER IN BAJA THAN TT SPEC. I'm not saying Class 10's are better or faster or anything else other than when it comes to the Baja 500 and Baja 1000 Class 10's are quicker. PERIOD. The facts support this argument entirely now.
