I’m just shy of 40 so I unfortunately didn’t get to see the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. I’m pretty sure I would have liked that timeframe more than today. I like today’s drivers just fine, I just don’t always like the racing arena they have to compete in. I wish guys could go drive anything they wanted, whenever they wanted to (Mario is a Hoosier 100 winner and a F1 World Champ…imagine that today). I also wish sponsorship wasn’t such a big deal. You’re not moving on to anything without it. I wish guys could just show up with their helmet and drive, best driver in the seat in all forms of racing. But, that’s not the way it is and it’s never going to be that way again. I love to read about history and think about what it would be like if… What I don’t understand is being so negative about how it is today. Is it what it is and it’s not going back. I wish half the 500 field was guys I watch Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, but it’s not. I wish it was different on many levels, but it’s not. I still am interested and wouldn’t miss it.
