I'm right with ya Quick, It's just yor particular post got me to thinking (no, dinner's not burnin' )
I've always figured if you can get new folks out to the track (I call 'em civilians) the fun and cool factor will sell itself.
Spending half a weeks salary and getting frisked like you robbed a gas station to get treated like an illegal immigrant isn't gonna cut it. There are plenty of other places to spend your fun time money.
