Judah, I first got into it when I was in Iraq in '05. My family was into it, got my daughter into it, so I started watching it then. When I returned and took my daughter to our first race together in Texas, man was I hooked. It's one thing to see it on TV, but when you can hear and feel the cars driving by, it's a unique experience. And if you get a chance to get a pit pass, do it. You get up close to the cars and pit boxes. And if you can score a hot pass, you get to go into the garage area and really see some cool stuff. And of course there's the Richard Petty experience. Doing some laps in an actual NASCAR (that is modified with a passenger seat). that was a serious hoot!
What I want to see in person now is MOTOGP. I watch it on TV, but I want to see these bikes in person.
