    What is racing really about? Read this!

    *My response to someone being deleted as a friend on Facebook after shit talk going too far.



    "He probably has more important things than fb drama to worry about...like his wife and baby on the way. Some day you all will realize that racing is a passion that many share for many different reasons. Maybe its to spend more time with loved ones, or to full-fill ones self goals. But a true racer or enthusiast isn't in it just to compete. They have true passion for the sport without needing justification why. All the ridicule on IAF is enough for anyone to step back and think twice about getting interested in racing. Maybe everyone should think about that the next time they wonder why ANY racing event has barely any spectators or competitors show up.... This is intended for everyone. I'm not picking on anyone. And I'M NOT PERFECT, but try to show some respect and compassion for fellow friends, racers, fans and future racers that look up to us. ...Or our passion will be no longer." Terry Miller

    I'm obviously not taking sides. That's not what this is about. It's about a much bigger picture. And, EVERYONE has been guilty of this bullshit at some point. EVEN ME!

    Facebook is serious business. Which is why I prefer Fuckbook.

    well the initial post by Terry was from a comment he made on my status about George deleting me... George had made a specific status either yesterday or the day before making fun of a member who recently posted a video of his car on the dyno... I confronted George about it on his status basically saying exactly what Terry said in his post here.... Next thing I knew I was deleted by him and Ed actually

    Race smack talk and general beatin on each other over my car is cooler or whatever seems to be fine by my book. Personal attacks on peoples home lives is too much for me.

    Now I feel bad. I was messing with the bohrens recently but they know I was just messing around.

    I have offered to crack down on users but for the most part, most people want the shit talking to be left un-moderated . I even took a poll once on the infamous rude Charlie and people were in favor of not banning him 3 to 1. He ended up getting banned a couple months later anyway.
