I love open wheel racing best of all. My first memories of racing were with my Dad in the early 50's when he ran dirt stock cars which morphed into super modifieds and later sprint cars. He quit racing in the late Fifties and I didn't start until the late 60's. I couldn't afford to run a sprint car so I started racing AMA flat track. I did that till I got too old to take the abuse. Didn't race again until about ten years ago. Found my level of pain (financial that is) in Micro Midgets. Been doing that ever since. However, I love all forms of racing. Yes, I even like to watch Nascar Cup racing. I can remember when you were lucky to find anything about racing in the newspaper, and only then, if the sports guy happened to be a race fan.The popularity of Nascar in the last 20 years has brought all types of racing to a higher level and it concerns me when it does not do well. Sorry about the rant but I'm frustrated when guys seem to take pleasure from the most prominent face of our sport hurting. Flame away!
