Don I see your point, but I don't think you see the big picture. Racing is a very very expensive hobby/life that people choose to participate in. In my 30 plus years involved in racing I can not remember a time that the cost or racing was not an issue. It has always been that way and I'm willing to bet that it always will be so. So, on this day I choose not to complain, but to be very thankful that I and my entire generation are privilaged to enjoy the sport we love so much given the sacrafice of so many in WWII. I guess I look at things a little different, "Damn glad to be here, SIR!" Just my two cents Don, no disrespect meant at all.
