Yeah that was rough, the only good thing that came from that year losing an earnhard, a petty and blaze in one year was that nobody has died since. No small part thanks to the hans device cam a year too late for Dale. Not to try and get you to change your mind, but there is very little chance to win a championship without winning now, everything nascar has done in the last ten years was to make that happen. The new one win and you make the playoffs has prioritizes wins, even last year only one guy made playoffs without winning and he was quickly eliminated.I've all but stopped watching NASCAR races. I don't even know who's racing anymore. I blame the reaction to the fact that Matt Kenseth won the championship without winning any races, for the rules changes that was the final straw for me. So what if he was champion without a win. The whole idea behind points racing is consistency. Now, someone can win a championship after doing nothing all season except win one race then have good results for the last 10 races. That's not really appealing to me. But then again, for me the sport really died with Dale Earnhardt.
As far as snow goes, we had a couple inches overnight, but it will be mostly gone by this evening. I'm definitely not jealous of what some of you have gotten recently.
I think how fast cameras are now have really taken away from the feel you used to get when watching. Back in the day it seamed like the cars were going so much faster, but that isnt the case. The speed of modern digital cameras really changes the way it appears. No way to fix that I guess, analog is gone for good. What still is great is hero's and villans, no matter which guys you pull for there is a fair share of boos when villians win, lol. But wins mean more then ever before in nascar.
