"Running out of talent"

Sieg not directed at you at all but I personally hate that phrase when describing driver/on track issues issues. If one were to describe a heroic effort at a best lap or race win and didn't quite get there, that'd be technically correct IMO. OTOH, if you're not driving at the edge, you're not tying hard enough. Why would anyone describe that as running out of talent?? No one here has ever gone off track? Is that running out of talent? Sheet, I hit the cones on the local go kart track. Now that's talent!

We're all amatuers here last I checked. If someone is a better driver than another and makes a joke because someone 'ran out of talent' than that's just assinine. F'n superiority complex and hanging out with the wrong crowd I'd say, cause that's not who most of us here are.

Lastly, if describing 'that guy' on the track (not you Sieg), than I think it's probably the 'proper' use of the phrase.

Been meaning to say this for a long time. JMHO...back to our regularly scheduled programming.
