Why should he? With rallying working to emulate NASCAR most night stages are gone, 24 hour events are gone, WRC no longer has mixed surface stages, etc, etc. Soon rallying won't even be done in the rain......... just like NASCAR.

"They" call this crap "progress". ... and I'm the Easter Bunny.

>Night stages are gone?

Totally gone? No. Fading into history. Yes.

>24-hour events were gone well before I got here.

Did I name you? No. Did I blame you? No.
You missed out. The "good ol' days" were really the good ol' days.

Don't mess with me. My best friend is the Tooth Fairy. He's 6'8", 290lbs of muscle...err... and beer gut, hairy-backed, ugly as sin, and carries channel-locks large enough to rip out all your teeth in one pull. That leaving money under your pillow BS is just a fairy tale. His version of the Pledge of Allegiance goes: "I pledge allegiance to NASCAR, and to Budweiser, one Nation under Winston Cup, no IRL nor IMSA, with brew and pizza and loose females for all."
