I can't believe---

I actually watched most of a NASCAR race on TV last night !
The lack of any other program of interest had a large role
in my TV choices last night, but it harkened back to the days
when I actually went to NASCAR races in CNY. For years the
guys of NASCAR raced at the NY State Fair dirt track and I
made it a point to watch them with a bunch of neighborhood
pals. We also went to Watkins Glen in 1957 for the first NASCAR
road race there. I continued to keep an eye on it for a few
more years, but lost interest around the time that NASCAR
stopped racing "real cars" and turned their noses up at
smaller paved and dirt tracks.
Will I watch it more ? Don't know, but thanks for the
opportunity to muse about it.
