Boy can I relate. I guess they may challenge because they believe a 4x4
would be a handicap? I even have the "Central Ontario 4x4 club and United 4
Wheel Drive Association stickers on my rear window and still they challenge.
I usually ignore them as well, but sometimes....... I go for it. Sometimes
I win, and sometimes not. But, like you, I didn't get the truck to race,
but "TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE" I'd like to see some of
these "challengers" follow me sometime into the wilderness. :) Maybe I
should just drive over them ;)
