[WRTC2006] WRTC2010 TL Selection Critiera - Addl. Questions

[Jim Neiger]

I take considerable exception to your premise re: *basic operating skills*, 
Dave.  NA Sprint and 48 hour World-Wide are radically different in many 
regards.  It's like saying the 100 meter racer is better  than the marathon 
man.  Simply not comparable  skills or strategies.  Only common denominator: 
be better and go faster than the other guys.

To reverse your logic, Dave, many who have won the NA Sprint haven't done 
squat on the world stage.  What does that mean?  Well, nothing at all.
