DID YOU KNOW:
...That the current Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his Congress want to place into law a “mileage tax?” The government thinks it only fair to tax every mile you drive your vehicle to help pay for rebuilding America's roads, highways and bridges. On the surface, this might appear to be totally responsible until one asks themselves "What happened to all the toll roads, gas taxes, tire taxes (that was promised to be gone at the end of WW2) and now the tire disposal tax, license and registration fees, and on...and on... and on?" Our elected public servants (laughable) have been stealing that money for decades from its intended purpose, which was today for roads, highways and bridges and directing it to special projects of their own for the purpose of getting elected. In short: WE’VE BEEN ROBBED — AGAIN.
...That the most anticipated race of the year for NASCAR was run this at the end of March (well Monday due to rain) at Bristol, TN and honestly it was for us a big letdown? If you’re the type of fan who rates how good a race was by the number of crashes, then you likely loved the Bristol race. However, if you’re the kind of fan who rates a race based on the quality of racing and demands put on the teams to adjust their cars to meet the conditions, then it was truly only the last 30 laps of the 250 lap race that impressed you. The flying dirt and dust blinded everything and everyone. Cars were overheating due to blocked radiators, drivers' eyes filled with dust, and the car's graphics and model type were nearly completed covered by the dirt, not to mention the track was so slick in the beginning that the racing looked more like bumper cars on an amusement park ride. It was only after the track dried and started to harden did we see any real racing. The track did get a few large pot holes which made things pretty rough, but the with all the “dirt specialists” eliminated it came down to the usual top rated drivers shooting it out. Hats off to Bristol Speedway for putting in such an amazing effort to build the track on top of the original paved surface and for dealing with the massive rain and floods that Tennessee had that weekend. Amazingly, despite what some of us felt was a disappointing race, NASCAR officials announced that Bristol will run as dirt for its next NASCAR race.
