Well, It is time once again to say "And So It Begins". Racing season is here for local tracks and we the fans couldn't be happier. At least for now because by the middle of the season there will be some of those who will be burnt out already and to those I say "suck it up buttercup". With the way the economy is right at the moment which is not great, it could be a deterent but I believe it won't be totally. Gas prices are enough to make a grown man cry and this will be our number one issue but I believe whole-heartedly in the love race fans have for racing. Not a whole lot can stop these people. I don't know about most people but the racing offseason is the longest, most drug out part of the whole year.
What do you do in the offseason? Well, you can twiddle your thumbs, learn origami, take up knitting, whatever you feel like. Nothing will compare to that first moment you step out of your vehicle and plant your feet firmly onto race track territory and get a good whiff of racing fuel, (don't sniff too hard though) and tire prep, (yeah, let's pretend like no one does that) and the sweet, heavenly smell of wet clay. Are you as excited as I am yet? Well, if you are, welcome to my world, and if you're not, you better get to catching up with the rest of us or get left behind. The glorious sounds of screeching, banging, and shrieking and that's just the drivers yelling at one another. New feuds will be forged this season and old feuds will be either left behind (not likely) or brought back, to the fans' delight. Say what you want, the racing is the best part, but a really good feud or two is great for the racing business. This is when most drivers will get their fans.
If you can drive a race car like no one's business you'll get a lot of respect and fans from that but you get into a feud with another driver and your popularity will soar like my weight during a weekend cupcake bender. Cupcakes and racing, two of the most awesome things ever. At least racing doesn't make me hate myself afterwards though. I heart you racing. Bring on the temper tantrums, the sheet metal, the tire prep (yeah, pretend again it ain't happening), and the flinging of dirt, I'm ready! So you should too and why is that?..... BECAUSE I SAID SO! Now come out and support your local tracks and bring your friends with you, whether imaginary or real they are all welcome. See you there!
