Absolutely not, I make what I can make. I can honestly say the days of more than once a month 400 mi round trip races are over for the short term but i try to make at least one race a week.

As was posted, There is no perspective in updates. Only whats happening, No sounds, no WOW, how'd he do that? or OMG I hope he's oks. Same with a filmed race, I can't get the rumble in my body that 900hp ground pounders are putting down on the track when Im there. Sure its nice to be able to see what happened later, But its past tense, not live, you probably knew what happened before you watched it. etc.

NOTHING LIKE BEING AT THE TRACK, NOTHING. You could watch NHRA drag racing for decades and finally go to a track with Top Fuel and Nitro. When that concussion hits from the exhaust of them cars. YOU'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED IT BEFORE and you think HOLY *$*## WOW. I've been missing the WHOLE EXPERIENCE.

I think the fact that mostly it helps people who either have to work or live far away is the best thing about updates. keeping track of some of their favorite drivers so they know how he's been doing when they can get to the track.

Some of these drivers I don't even know, Especially Waynesfield and Paragon and some of Bloomingtons. Hearing names and descriptions of what they've done, Helps me, when I finally do get to their track or they come to mine.

Theres many on this board who travel far more than me and attend many more races. I can say I logged 20,000 miles mostly in Indiana running back and fourth between home and the tracks last year. Hit about 40 shows. ENJOYED EVERY ONE! Hit all but Paragon and Haubstadt at some point last year, many two or three times. and the home track about 12+
