I'm not trying to make NASCAR fans in particular, I'm just a fan of defending motorsports....

For example, the idiots who do burn outs at the Varsity make all of us look bad because members of this board were there.

Kids who try to drift and then kill a mom and kids in her mini van make people into drifting look awful...

All I'm saying is it's fine not to be a fan of it, I just think people should say "well I'm not into it, but I'm all for it."

WIthout the sponsorships that prove so valuable there, lots of other smaller sponsorships in other racing series wouldn't have so much validity to show consumer confidence.

I support our hobby. Period. I don't ride motorcycles any more but I still support them. I don't race dirt track cars, but I still support them. And I certainly don't run in a failing racing series like Indy who can't pull their own head out of their butt's, but I certainly support them.

That's the only point I was making.

It's real racing, they've made huge jumps in technology in the sport and there's lots of fun people involved in the sport, such as myself.

But like my friend up there said, why spend time trying to show you guys the cool stuff about it. You guys have eyes and ears. If you want to see how interesting the racing really can be, then you'll do that.

And Stretch, the only thing about what you said is that... well... some people say there's really no point to anything with cars besides making them more fuel efficient and safer.

Racing is just racing. It's meant to be fun, competitive, and something for people to do. That's what motorsports is about. IT's not like being a teacher, or a civic leader, you know? It's a hobby that people turned into business.
