Life begins when the clutch engages.

Ken,
Great thread and for my 2cents worth.
1: Where else can you find this much diversity in auto racing in any form. No cookie cutter cars here. Technology from carbs to EFI. From timing lights to Laptops. Some young, lots of old guys and few in between but unlike many sports over 40 isn't over the hill and out to pasture.
2: Where else can you see racers do so much with so little? When I was much younger and Pro Stocks were just starting I never thought there would be a day when a 9 second Stocker would ever evolve.
3: Sure as hell beats a car show where trailer queens are parked and polished and very seldom used for what they were originally built for...Driving Them.
4: Some of the greatest people you'll ever meet and and hang out with and fans that think it's cool to walk around the pits, look at the race cars and talk to the racers.
5: Heads up runs. Gotta luv em when it's a close race.

The cars, the people and the thrill of competition! They are some really good and knowledgeable people that race S/S. My faith in mankind is always renewed as well, where I lose it every time I shop at Walmart! Plus, like Jim said, I always chuckle to myself at the local track when someone asks me if I've got nitrous or a big block Chevy under the hood.
