Hey Bill Gardner, I will repeat again...I don't post in this forum any longer (save for informational posts) because it is a haven for the uninformed to attack those of us actually working IN the industry. It's a waste of time and completely counterproductive. However, when I simply offer an opinion, and YOU allow someone to disparage me for simply responding to the question posed, YOU condone this behavior.

I've spent 29 years covering this sport and have outlasted ALL my colleagues to become the "old guard". There are so few of us professional auto racing videographers left in this sport, and that is because there is not any real money in what we do. We aren't getting rich here. But, I keep trudging on because of the love of the sport. And, when I get some hilljack from Southern Indiana coming against me simply for offering a harmless opinion, I won't stand idly by, I will address the man head on. Sorry, but I don't need you to handle my business for me, I can handle myself against any and all detractors with the greatest of ease. That includes retired yard utility salesman that are oblivious to being the blight of their family's good name.

BTW, for the record, I saw the race at Haubstadt on Jackslash.com and it was fantastic with a stellar field. Tri-State Speedway can and does put on great racing. That someone took umbrage with me for stating that I was choosing Kokomo over Haubstadt (and why) is just plain ridiculous.

PS - Bill, in terms of your underwear reference, I'm going commando here.
