HEY JD... don't pick on bowling. Its the only thing I can do anymore via doctor orders! LOL Granted I only average 210, have one 300, and one tournament win... but damn its still fun after 20 years. Hahaha.
Yea, I am not sure what to think anymore. I just don't think people relate with the personalities/drivers as they use to...and vise versa. Not to beat a dead horse...I don't think anyone relates to the cars anymore either. It has been decades since the cars have been 'stickered' up to look like the showroom models, but the Gen 5 car killed the mood, outlook, and perspective. Also, it used to be you could have an inclination to go racing and make some cash. Now, not a chance...if you don't have Dupont, GoDaddy, Home Depot, DOW, Stanley Tools, to sponsor you there isn't a chance of being able to put a car together to go run with the big boys either. I don't think it is a 'blue collar' sport anymore... it has turned into a 'white collar' hobby. Again, as a sport, NASCAR and ISCA just aren't relating to a majority of the fans anymore. I can't remember the last time I heard people in the stands debating that their Ford was faster than some other persons Chevy!
I still enjoy attending the Sunday races at MIS. As long as my father still enjoys it and can go I will as well. If my kids get into it and really like it we will keep going, but if it was just me alone to decide to go or not...my 50" LCD and a Lazy Boy would not argue with me staying home. My wife might still kick me out to enjoy the peacefullness of a day twice a year! LOL
