Years ago, The Daytona 200 motorcycle race would have been at the top of any list.  Racers from all over the world would come and compete on the high banks of Daytona, a unique experience.  More than a race, this was an event.

Alas, it's been thoroughly screwed up.
Wag more, bark less.

I loved racing when the driver was more of factor than the car... Today, driver skills almost take a back seat to what a driver brings in terms of money....

Gurney, Clark, both Hills (Phil and Graham), Hulme, Brabham, Surtees, Hall, McLaren, Donohue, Revson, Stewart, Peterson, Cevert, Spence, Amon, and on and on....

See. Now THOSE were racecars
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty
