The 'superbowl' is a US only competition, so hardly an appropriate analogy. In any case, in this particular, it may be more accurate than ever, since in America, the #1 competition may indeed be IC 1/8th buggy, the rest of the world gives the highest honor to 1/8th IC ON-Road.
You are usually accurate with your facts, but in this case, you're wrong.

The IFMAR 1/8 Off-Road World Championship is a worldwide competition. BTW, the 2012 champion is not an American. [img][/img]
That was actually what I meant when I said it was an inappropriate analogy. Although 1/8th IC buggy is a worldwide discipline, it is by far the most popular class in the US (despite not being so in other countries) making the superbowl analogy somewhat more valid after all. I was rambling a bit and thinking out loud when I wrote that, sorry.
