Another stereotype that could be easily disproven if you were to actually attend a race. The number of pickup trucks is not much more than your average cross-section of American public.
Of course, this sport "grew up" as a blue-collar sport where guys would drive trucks in their normal job, then would pack up the racecar on the trailer and race on the weekends. Some just like to watch what they would never try on the highway or side roads. Some, like me, like to have the truck for the utility of it, and have a "fun" car to really drive. Before I bought a house, I had a nice little VW Corrado. That little bad boy had some real handling for a 4 cylinder VW. Sigh...I miss that car. The supercharger was dying on me though, and I didn't have the money to get it rebuilt. At 11:20 AM 2/28/2005, you wrote: > > Ray wrote: > > So, before someone else says the below: > > 1.)
