After reading a few threads on cars, trucks, and other things, Motorsports came to mind. I myself love watching all kinds of Motorsports like NASCAR, etc... But choosing my all-time favorite "motorsport" is tough, and I usually call it a tie between dirt-track racing and tractor pulls. I have an obsession with dirt, diesel, burning rubber, alcohol (the fuel), and more dirt. I've even participated in tractor pulls and a few races (never won but I had a hell of a lot of fun). So, what's your favorite Motorsport?
Here's a few work safe films:

My favorite drivers on this circuit are Scott Bloomquist and Billy Moyer..both I have met and talked to.
WO Late Models are considered "professional," but every small town that has a dirt track probably has their own late models.
Open-Wheel Modifieds are one of my other favorite dirt track racing classes

Bloomer fan huh? Should have figured as much. Mr Smooth on the other hand, he's cool. Darren Miller is from this neck of the woods, I've wrenched on the car a couple times for him. Great guy and great family too. We spend 3 days in Knoxville at the late model races every year. It's great, been able to meet, talk to, and party with quite a few drivers @ the dinge's bar across the street from the track.
Not sure I have any one or two particular favorites, Denny Erb, Scott James, Darren, Birkey, Chub, Eckert, Moran, Francis, Jeep ( he's a blast to hang with), and Schliper ( party animal ) are among those whom I like to see do well.
Tractor pulling? I got a thing for that too, Heck I remember when pro stock meant haveing multiple turbos :lol
Now its just 1, no rule on how big though :t
