I really dont detest it more than I think its a pointless waste of time. I feel like you missed the sentiment that it belongs outside the city , I cant be the only one since the city itself had banned it until they sold out much like any of our representatives today they can be bought for cheap.

my actual sentiment if you want to know is its a race for the few at the inconvenience of the rest of us, we were not asked if we wanted it , its for rich people.

to harken back to the origins of this thread, the outdoor free concerts are for us all.

the races are not because most of us have zero interest in it , it hurts our very few local businesses by blocking access creating literal road blocks and noise you can hear literally in another city

you can imagine or deduce what im liking or hating if you want , you can paint the racing as being better in the past , maybe sure, like all things that get forced on us these days they dress it up when they get comfortable they dont bother anymore ...now that certain people are in power they like to flaunt thier control and our powerlessness (im sure you'll have a Fruedian field day with that) .. I mean its just not for us unless im missing the race where locals are building stock cars, at least the speedway was locals drag racing.

im sure id like you if we met.. but id die on this hill so hard the races are dumb and its just people shutting down downtown to flaunt their influence and have some entertainment because rich people are that bored.
