I have been thinking about something for a while now and I have finally decided to get everyone elses opinion is on it.
Anyway here goes....while my wife and I were at the U.S. Nationals we were sitting there and she says to me who is your driver,who do you want to win. My response to her question was I don't really care I just like to watch the cars. I mean I really could care less who won I just like watching the cars go down the track. And that was when I realized that I really do only care about the cars and that who is driving them doesn't matter to me. I really am awed by the technology and speed and times that the fuel cars go. But what is really mind boggling to me is the fact that Larson's and Lut's cars can go 6's at over 200 mph go 1000 + miles and keep them from puking parts. To me that is just awsome. But I feel that the guys doing dragweek are more talented than any of the fuel drivers because they are tuning, driving and fixing all on their own junk. I know they have a co-pilot and they may or may not have tuned the engine initial set-up but there is no dyno on the road. To me those cars are just cool, even if they are a large by huge big block with a pair of monster hair dryers attached to them. I am in awe of how things have evolved.
I guess I should clarify that my question is how many of us are fans of a certain driver or how many of us could care less about who is driving and are more a fan of the cars.
