I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Racing is just a series of "Problem Solving" events that allow you to spend money & make noise...

  With all the sport has lost this year, maybe we need a new topic heading for LSR RACING IN HEAVEN.
