...racing in a parking lot with cones is more challenging than racing wheel to wheel?
As Greg said, different set of challenges. Autocrossing places a MUCH greater emphasis on car control. I'll get on a road course and almost feel relaxed because I have so much time before making another turn. In autocrossing, it's significantly busier behind the wheel.
...and occassional go wheel to wheel on some twisties.so yes,I am a street racer
"Wheel to wheel" as in one of you future Darwin victims is in the opposing traffic lane?
...and I doubt anyone can drive(note I said drive,not race) as well as me.[/quote]
But by drive, do you mean normal everyday driving? Hell, lots of people do just fine when driving at 3/10's or 4/10's. The real skill necessary to pilot a car emerges when raising the bar to 8/10's and above...
Just out of curiosity, are you still in the military (based on your "location" tag)? If so, I truly thank you for serving our country; but I bet the street racing doesn't scare you, nor does the prospect of harming others while street racing because you have been trained to remove the empathy and sympathy compoinents of your subconscious so as to keep you alive and focused in combat situations.
