WHOA... HDDP, aka Steve, as in (McQueen) lighten up a little. Just because most, if not all other XF owners do not race their cars doesn't necessarily make us a collection of wimps. (Well maybe in my case it does, but that's another story.)
There are lots of reasons for not racing our cars, and probably #1 would be economics. Racing may improve the breed, but for the most part it destroys the car, ruins resale value, and generally puts your car in harms way. Other factors like the average age of the XF ownership, time involved, # of cars owned, location of the race tracks, all come into play too. Besides, we're probably all "Walter Mitty" racers everytime we get into our XFs, well at least some of the time anyway. You are correct, it's a shame there aren't alot of XFs on the tracks around the country because the publicity would probably improve Chryslers bottom line. I mean let's face it, hard core sports car enthusiasts, usually spend their money on cars with a little more "Track Proven history". And even though MB is doing pretty well racing these days, DaimlerChrysler isn't enjoying any fallout from their success. The old saying "Race on Sunday, sell on Monday" is still valid. Just look at how many Dale Ernhart Monte Carlos you see. (Well maybe not in Calif. but down South). Maybe as prices keep falling and even more used XFs become available, we might begin to see more XFs turning up track side. I hope we do. Unfortunately, the lack of performance engine parts for our cars won't help matters any.
I fondly remember how proud I used to feel after attending Trans Am races back in the late 60's and early 70's to have my favorite marquee do well. Even though I knew my car had about as much in common with a T/A racer as a F-16 has with a Lear Jet. It still felt great to see an underdog compete with the Big Boyz and show'em some tail light.
I realize you were probably just "venting". I can appreciate your frustration, but why not revel in your individuality and take special enjoyment out of the fact every spectator at the track is talking about YOUR car. Be glad you don't have to share the Lime Light with a half a dozen other cars just like yours. Good Luck! Be Safe!
