Friendship, comraderie, prestige, to race within a given set of rules and someone to govern them, and last but most importantly Safety!

It also gives me and opportunity to race against people I have admired and watched since i was a wee lil man. Mike Boyles, Donny Moore, Mark Young, Jim Reynolds, etc. etc., along with the legends that are crew chiefs now we get to see....Sonny Robbins, Herb McCandless, Steve Taylor, I could go on and on.

How does this sport survive without people wanting to be a part of it? It doesn't, these guys and gals, unfortunately won't be around forever and one day the kids are gonna have legends too....Let's not forget why we got into this in the first place...BECAUSE WE LOVE IT! Certainly not for the money.

gettin down from the box now. sorry for being lenghty
