I hate the direction racing is heading

I'll have to agree with you there Tom. Back in the day, I'd get off work, have the car on the trailer in the shop (notice 'ON' the trailer, no enclosed trailers back then, and lots of guys were were still using tow bars), haul that 500 miles and catch some zzzz's in the cab before the gates opened at 8am. That was back in the day when Calif was still enjoying their love affair with the automobile and there were lots of dragstrips and roadrace tracks, and NOTHING but 1/4 mile strips at that! 1/8 mile...what that heck is that?! I never had agreed with 'buy backs' but then I'm REAL OLD school, or maybe just old?!
