I unloaded on him much to his surprise and everybody elses. They are so used to being worshiped as heroes that someone who contradicts that shocks them. I asked him how much of his OWN money he paid to race here this weekend and he looked at me like a deer in the headlights. If more of us spoke up instead of just biting our tongues I think we would have more of a voice. I love the fact that it took a $100,000 car to beat that little car! that was the best race of the weekend!
Dam I would love to been there for that one.
