Brent, then I guess it's a good thing I go to races every once in awhile...

That said, I was really rubbed the wrong way by the whole, "You weren't there" comment. You used it on both Chuck & I. Just because I chose to stay home, save a few bucks and not go to work today on a couple hours of sleep doesn't mean I don't care. I spend my weekends (and sometimes weeks) traveling where a 20-something with a fulltime job can to go to races and sometimes I'm even nice enough to post results on here when some tracks wont get around to it until Monday. I care just as much as the next fan about the health of the sport. I go to the races I can, buy all the t-shirts, and run a blog (for free) that promotes sprint cars in Indiana to the effect of 15,014 visitors as of 5 minutes ago in the past 7 days just because I love sprints and I want to see them thrive. I care. I don't want to go to a race to see just 8 sprints show up, I don't want to see half empty stands and I sure as hell don't want to see tracks closing. Last weekend I went to a race at LPS and as soon as it was over drove like a bat out of hell down to Paragon to catch their sprint car feature, I don't think that's indicative of someone who just wants to sit at home and complain and tell you that you just wasted your time at a particular race.

So I don't know if I was reading into your complaining comment wrong or the "you weren't there" comment wrong and if I did, I apologize. For the second time, I had no problem with what transpired at Kokomo. The guy was wrong...or maybe just group me in with your IOWCB.
