Like I said, these car corporations leave North American shores, and what they're fishing for is TECHNOLOGY, and the people in R&D who develop new designs and processes with them.

There is little room for nostalgia. One thing about the way I was raised, was never get too attached to a piece of sheet metal. It's just a commodity. It's just a car, and there will be other cars.

But, why-oh-why subsidize a sport in which the ORIGINAL GOAL was to go fast, AND SELL North American built cars, when the sport has already peaked, is now in a steady attendance decline, and the North American car manufacturers are failing??

There isn't one of us here who, if we had the notion to open a race track, would expect the government to subsidize us.

In order to get that subsidy, you'd have to have extrodinarily clear numbers when completing an application for that subsidy. Wouldn't you know, that NASCAR would have those numbers in hand? Incredible.

Brother, can you spare a subsidy?

It won't matter a bit in my life.

An old friend published his first book last year, called "Remember When", and he's asked for my help with the follow up to that book, starting in the spring.
