I didn't take you out of context your FOS. I have 3 real good Race car friends that do the same **** to me. My point was I use my car and will burn more fuel in a weekend than most will in 2 years that track race. I get a lot of time behind the wheel and I know exactly what my cars will do and exactly how they will act when doing it.
I've seen this before when I was heavily into the Sand Dune scene. Guys would sit at the drags wiping off their $100k cars starring at them and idle them around burning 3 gallons of fuel all weekend and put them back in the trailer, but boy they look cool. I would burn 85 gallons in mine. I use my **** is my point and put them through their paces.
