Philip have you ever stayed long enough at a national event to watch a shootoff ?
In the past sitting at Nelsonville waiting my turn I could look around and see maybe 100 to 150 people hanging to watch people shoot!!! I love to shootoff, that means I am in the show (at least for that day). But when you have to travel 100' s of miles that night so you can go to work the next day, you wish that you shot that other 11 so you could get on down the road. Thats why I like 11' s, it makes things go alot easier..Oh yea by the attendence at the shootoffs it shows that everyone else wants to get on down the road too. (IMO)
