You also can't appreciate how fast they are until you see one go right by you! > Unlike some stock car fans, I like the road courses. If nothin > else it adds variety to the sport.

Variety makes what you like all the better and still expands your tastes. Once in a great while, I'll see some World of Outlaws on TV. I like sprints cars. We have dirt and asphalt short-track here in the Northeast, too, but not like the south has. > Yeah, it was ;) Drivers can be a touchy subject.

Truthfully, I don't even get to watch what I really like, either: Formula and Can Am, or any other road course stuff. No time and never know when it is on. Besides, I have hungry Linux mouths to feed. No time for such nonesense. ;-) > Twice a year, the campground at Talladega becomes Alabama's > second largest city. 500 acres of jammed in RV's, and Mardi Gras > every night ;) I've had tickets for both races (April-Oct) for > some ten years now ;) Maybe you should speak to Mandrake about having a Linux convention there at about that time...(I am trying to keep this thread on topic!) :-D T <sneaking away before he gets hit> P.S. Seriously, thanks for the enlightenment. Someday, I hope to get back to following the racing I love.
