Not that anyone cares what I think... but there are two kinds of racing that have fallen off my radar... NASCAR was never on it... to much just going around in a circle is BORING in my book... NASCAR seems to really only want to appeal to 'joe the plumber' - selling beer and laundry detergent. LOL
Drag racing used to catch my attention... but even that has become boring. When I worked at PIR - and went to Pomona etc pit crewing as a teen for Whipple & McCulloch... you had to really really drive these AA/Fuel cars and could win or lose almost anywhere down the track. Now though - it seems more and more races are lost in the first 60 feet (or less). Tire shake - or lack of traction - and bingo - you lose. When it's over that quickly - it's kinda "ho hum". Seems more and more it's all about clutch set up rather than driver being able to 'peddle' the car down the track.
Okay - so this pic is about 40 YEARS AGO... Somebody get some scissors and cut that hair of mine!!
