There are tons of pictures of Troy racing, but this one is pretty cool.  |

Oh, and for the record it's called 'Dakar' these days.  Even though its run in South America  A rose by any other name.... OK, I'll stop being so grumpy....but how is racing a MC on a dirt oval any different than Nascar? Now, a demolition derby...that's "dirt track racing" I'd enjoy and pay to see!  |

Actually OT isn't that far off because he remembers what NASCAR was. [He's old too] When NASCAR started they raced on dirt ovals and Daytona was held on the beach. It was pretty much run what you brung.The thing that turns me off about most forms of racing is the surrounding media/fan circus, and stifling regulations that are implemented in the name of either cost saving or leveling the field. It didn't used to be like that. There was real innovation, and the best innovators often won...you know...racing. Motogp is on the same path I'm afraid with their spec this, and spec that. If the big boys (Honda) have an advantage because of budget then put spending caps in place. Let the suppliers figure out how to innovate on a budget, but don't pass stupid rules that make all the bikes similar to create a fake show. Feel free to disagree...except OT...you're still old.  |

It's all about money. None of it phases me, they're still racing and that's all that matters to me. I'm old too, and have been going to and or watching all forms of racing since before I was 10. |

Huh, what? Just woke up from my afternoon nap..... What makes you-all think I'm old? I was born long after Nascar moved to paved tracks. DP, we "old guys" (I'm probably younger than you) need to find new sports where there are fewer rules.....but I can't think of any - off the top of my (balding) head. |
