Message	by the motorsports bug, led to me going to an open track day with my friend and his dad when I was 19, and the rest is history. I cant drive anything ever since unless it is capable of performing at a respectable level on a track. I will never forget Alex Zanardi passing Andretti(?) IN the corkscrew as he jumped the rumble strips to get around him at the end of a race to win. That guy was awesome to watch in his element. Tony George fucked all American race fans for no reason other than greed. I havent sat and watched an Indy 500 since 97.
