I grew up with Mid-Ohio in my backyard (literally) and being how my dad was a Lexington Kiwanis (they tended the gates, sold the programs etc.) member I got into all the races for free (had Paddock passes even).
So I grew up watching the Indy cars, the SCCA, Sprint, Vintage, and the super motorbikes. Nothing like them. I can't even watch NASCAR without getting sick..... Indycars are by far so much better, faster and the drivers in the 80's and 90's were far better. (Unfortunately, now the drivers go where the $$ is and that is NASCAR.)
In the late 80's and early 90's, my family had made friends with some of the racers.
Mid-Ohio gets Indycars back this year (after a few years absence) and I can guarantee I'll be wearing my Team Rahal and talking racing with some old, long lost friends.
Speaking of Rahal, what is it with his team? I can't believe he can't produce a winning driver or car.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
