It's much more fun that way... Maybe one way to keep the racing interesting would be to limit the total cost somehow. Anyone ever remember that race in 2000 where each entrant could only spend $2000 on his car? Innovation is real high when you can't just buy it. -todd To me racing is like football and running around bare naked; why sit there and watch when you could be the one out there doing it yourself.

That’s something in which I have little interest….” That was funny. However, Bob, I disagree. I would think that one's "equipment", flopping around while running naked, could be a disadvantage depending on how endowed one is. And for females, too, the petite athletic types seem to win every time. “The only form of racing where equipment plays no influence is: Running, barefoot and naked.

It depends on who you are with and where you are, I guess “The only form of racing where equipment plays no influence is: Running, barefoot and naked.
