rant-
ok, so I was having a conversation with a girl that went and saw the new ferril movie, the story of ricky bobby... or whatever...
and we got on the topic of racing, where she said that nascar is boring, which I agree.. but then she said, it doesn't take any talent. so I guess driving 200 mph bumper to bumper is easy? then why are there so many fender benders?
ok, on to drag racing, where she says, thats easy too.. all you gotta do is punch the gas and go..... I"m sitting here in awe, cause she's a self proclaimed racer or whatever, and has gone drag racing (which I'm sure is only done on the hwy)
but she likes auto x.. so its time to get under her skin a little bit "thats easy, you just punch it and go around cones.." that gets her a little upset, cause I guess thats the only kind of racing that takes any sort of talent...
why do people have mentality like that? so drag racing is in a straight line, if your car goes straight, which many of us know that doesnt always happen, espeically if you have some power. but not realize that conisistancy isn't always easy, and trying to cut a good light, plus 100 other things. thats why there are pros, and people like us (besides greg, he's in the pro category)
