I honestly think today it's more important to have your twittering down pat then your racing skills if you want a good ride. You dont need to be on a old timers forum to know whats good and whats sugar coated crap. It changed because of money, money talks even though it's usually mentally challenged. I'm proud to say I'm a oldtimer when it comes to racing. If you grew up around race tracks in the 60's and 70's, your lucky very, lucky.  At least folks that been there and can compare the two times and make they're own decision, Now days pretty much all the "big time racing" is follow the leader.

Like I said, if you wanna talk about the 50's-70's there is a forum for that. Last weekend (in 2011) I watched an Indycar race from a street course in St.Petersburg, FL. The old times aren't coming back, I was probably a year old going to pavement late model races in the late 70's. I found sprint car racing and I like it just like everyone else on this board. SOME PEOPLES DEBATING SKILLS ARE LIKE THAT OF A 3 YEAR OLD. I'm not implying that to you Backitin, spend enough time here and you'll see who the know it all's are who can't complete a logical sentence, yet they can fix the world, by implying that Indycar racing should be synonymous with the world of sprint cars. It's as profound as the Southerner's who think stock cars, should be just that stock cars.
