Re: Read this
Is it just me or does "alternative lifestyle weekends" sound like getting naked and/or smoking dope? I know that would certainly be cheaper than drag racing!
Seriously, I have always thought that there are some great stories in sports, including sportsman drag racing, that could be told well enough to keep people's attention, and generate interest. It just never happens. I can't tell you how many times I have been watching NHRA on TV and it seems like they are just wasting time. Sometimes I even see cool sportsman cars driving by in the back ground, usually during some especially vapid interview segment.
There is no sport I can think of where I can compete against David Rampy or Dan Fletcher or Jimmy DeFrank. It would be like pitching to Alex Rodriguez at a softball game. Nothing compares. I know John Force and Big Daddy, they ask about my kids. They admire my car. Lebron James? Not so much.
