i know every year is just another year added but figured i would share this.
http://rare.us/story/fourteen-years-ago-today-we-lost-dale-earnhardt-months-later-garth-brooks-was-able-to-put-our-feelings-into-a-song/
this was the day i think the old nascar died, and i did follow jr a year or two after but it wasnt the same and soon after i quit watching all together.

I got to see Dale Earnhardt's Daytona 500 winning Chevy Monte Carlo complete with the lucky penny glued to the dash that the little Make-A-Wish girl gave him before the race.
I remember when Jeff Gordon was a rookie. And now he is retiring.
Ugh.
Time. That elusive, priceless commodity........

I've been retired 6 yrs. already. I can vividly remember when Dwight D. Eisenhower was the president! LOL. I was too young to go to the races, but I think most of the racing was done on dirt tracks in those days... they used to have some of the races right along the oceanside. I remember the 1st time I went to the Barberton Speedway, in Barberton Ohio. It was dusty. Couldn't hardly tell who was winning the race.

ahh old "ike" im not old enough to remember when he was president but i did do a school report on him in 4th grade back in 92ish
to me a president should "look" like him and be a 5 star general like him

The old and interesting NASCAR died when the leadership decided to change the rules so bill Elliott couldnt win
Remember when the race cars body had to be the exact same shape as the real car?
That's where the monte Carlo SS came from
Chevy wanted to use a more aerodynamic front bumper on the race cars so they had to build 500 real cars with that bumper on em to be allowed to use that bumper on the race car
Now it's a joke when they call their car a Ford or Chevy
There's not a single bolt on the car that's found on a real car
I'd rather watch a rerun of a race from the 80s than a recent race
If you wanna see some real racing you should check out the WRC
Those guys race. Rain. Snow. Fog. Lost a wheel Hood flys up They dont stop for anything
