Second, I don't do team events for the gold. It's a cool bonus, but it wasn't some 25 gold reward that kept me running until 2:30 am on Wednesday morning, then waking up and putting in some more laps. It was the real one on one competition within the group. I wanted to get the team into the top 100 teams and I wanted to keep my own spot as one of the top 5 players on the team this week. I wanted the gold, but I wanted to be able to say that we were top 100 more. Speaking for myself, I think I'd run more races in this next competition if we were 20 guys going for Top 100, or top 75, or top 50 than if it was just 3 or 4 of us spooling numbers for gold rewards. That just doesn't sound fun to me. Seeing if I can burn up enough asphalt to be one of the top 3 or 5 runners on a top 100 or top 50 team (and kicking all your hindparts)....well, that sounds like a whole lot of fun. Yeah well said John:)

That is exactly what attitude we ultimately want this team to be!:) Although we dont want those within the team that have family/work obligations to feel out of place also. I think eventually we will work out these things:)

If u strip out my 14h work obligation, and then hours i put in racing, the math doesnt show much time was spent on sleep:) But i love doing that for the team..Gold is not a factor.

I think as this might be a rare "top 1000 get gold" challenge, there is no harm in a split. I'd race just as hard for those team members as i would in IRA if i could help them on this occasion.

I also hope to climb a tad in the team rakings, just need an opportunity of a free day:) We have some darn great drivers, no picnic to make the podium finish!:)
