If I can't do these things here without being dubbed captain of the ***** squad, where can I do it? I honestly don't want to be a loose cannon for anyone. I have openly asked the racing gods for guidance as I try to write this book about the state of the economy and its impact on open wheel racing.

I don't understand why Mr. Stewart gets hauled off to the police station in Australia after a race, yet my little online posts are considered bad for racing.

Thank's for your interest, though. Hope to see you Sunday
I'm not going to read your book, if you actually ever have one. For fear that half way through the first chapter, I might be consumed by the overwhelming urge to throw myself in front of the first moving bus I can find.

To be honest, your series of "little online posts" haven't exactly been uplifting. Even if you're trying to sell a "doom and gloom" story to the racing community, you have to give them something that doesn't drive them to drink, by reading it.

Gene's post, on the other hand, shows that in tough times, tough, resilient people still find a way to make things happen. This isn't the first tough economic period in racing and it won't be the last.
