If I recall correctly you have opined on the snarky attitude on the DLM rage about attitude. My view is in the euphoria of being at Tulsa you shot a unnecessary shot at fellow dirt racers.
You can have your view that the Chili Bowl is this and that with good argument. However I think there is a giant segment of dirt racers and fans that may view these events as an equal if not bigger.
*Knoxville Sprint Nationals**
*World 100*
*Kings Royal*
*Dirt Late Model Dream*
*I.M.C.A. Nationals*
*Williams Grove National Open*
*Super Dirt Week*
All those races have high quality merit.
The one thing I find about the Chili Bowl is the insane amount of race stoppage due to spins, wrecks and flips, it can hinder the flow of the race. Saturday nights ultra-long action with so much down time somewhat hurts the program, in my view the talent level across the board is amazing.
You said "generic pizza delivery cars." Don't present day USAC Midgets look exactly the same. Same look, side panels, down tubes, tires, wheelbase, nerf bars, exhaust and so on? Me. I would never use the words generic on the midgets even though they look a like.
Just my 3 cents, well maybe 4. Larson is a beast! No offense to you sir at all.
