THanks for sharing this Racephoto. It's very interesting.....
I think we'll see that it's not as much of a "foreign" driver issue as it is a "road racing" issue....
The folks on IOW are not really road race fans.
But for the record, I grew up in the 70's as a Nascar fan, also saw alot of IndyCar races at Michigan In't. I was stuck in the "stock car" world for years, thinking there was NOTHING that could compare. Road racing esp. But later, I began to appreciate and watch and follow ALL types of motorsport. And guess what? THey are all different but great in thier own way. I eventually started racing myself, and it was Sprint cars that inspired me to do that, never did I have a urge to drive just watching the stockers, but when I started going to sprint car races, my life changed. But that doesnt mean that there aren't other series where the drivers are great too.
Ever watch any Star Mazda races on tv? Those guys really race! Same with the Speed GT races. It's good stuff. One has to take something for what is IS, not for what it ISN'T....
