While I agree with everyone about everything I have to remind us that NASCAR
and NHRA are more than Cup racing and Nationals. When I took my roadster to
Redding I saw some pretty neat backyard drag cars. That's pretty much all
that was there. And Watsonville, isn't that a NASCAR sanctioned track? San
Jose was. If you don't like spectator sports, don't watch. I don't. Go
support the nearest oval or dragstrip. Build a bomber and run it. I think
the TQs put on a great show for reasonable money. RF
