Good rant. Not only that, they make it so the "little guy" can't get into it anymore. In the video "Petty Blue" they interview Lee Petty and he said when NASCAR started, he could go to a dealer and buy a Plymouth for $800, do a few modifications and win a race with it. Not anymore, you need millions to compete today and can't do it without sponsors.
x2 - hell, petty ran his 68 road runner with the vinyl roof and had to use 200 mile tape when in began to lift in front and act like a parachute
