1 & 2 stem from the fact that people love to be so close to the action, I would think. I still get chills watching that old-skool wreck where the engine goes careening through the crowd... wheew! Took balls to go watch that schtuff, wouldn't wanna take the kids, etc.. I've heard tell of the rumble in the belly, that happens only in close proximity to a bunch of horses charging-- sounds pretty nifty. Would be fun to drink beer and watch, like baseball, I think. > 3.) Why can't I watch for more than 5 minutes without getting > hopelessly bored? I loved Talledaga Nights ...
