joe -this is amazing its as if you and i talked about this but we didnt.  i feel exactly like you - i started out at reading and hatfield or flemington. my dad took me everywhere.  at one point we went 4 nights a week when bridgeport ran thursdays.  then when i started working in the pits, it was like family with the other teams you parked next to every week. 

now adays cars parked next to each other wont even look at one another.  now a days if im not going into the pits to see friends i cant be botherd going early, and on the way home wondering why i went at all!

todays racing is different for sure but it is what it is and i dont want to spoil it for younger fans who didnt experience the past - thanks joe i thought it was just ME
