It is a sport whether you like it or not.
So you don't like motorsports. Building and racing machines is bigger than most sports. It's a man's sport. You are unable to appreciate the nuances of the great sport because you are an emasculated POS.
Definition of the word Sport:
Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
Have you ever driven a car/bike/boat that was prepped for racing? I doubt it. If you did, you would know the vehicle is the thing doing 99% of the physical work. There is some degree of intelligence or strategy on the part of the vehicle's
operator that results in winning, but you would call a jockey or a NASCAR driver a great athlete?
Not that I feel I have to defend myself to the likes of you, but I have been racing cars since I was 16, have been a member of NHRA for over a decade, and understand more about the dynamics that affect your obviously favorite sport that you could even begin to imagine. I can tell you with great assurance, that drag racing, circle track racing, tractor pulls, monster truck rallys, etc., are most definately not sports in the true sense of the term.
All that said, how about you get back to chasing the "black folk" in your pick-up while running still illegal moonshine.
P.S. Thank your backwards granpappy for the "good libations" for me.
