Re: Air Race fans are nuts?
Well, to me, it's pretty obivious. That attorney is just like a little kid in school, because he can't join in and play, he reverts to name calling, in this case "nuts". I'm a proud, card carrying member of the "nuts" that love air racing.

Going to an air race is nuts, but riding a street bike isn't? The medical profession refers to motorcyclists as "organ donors." I'd feel much safer in a Reno box seat, thank you very much.

Theres the Harley riders that enjoy a nice ride and then theres the crotch rocket crowd that is living on borrowed time.

Re: Air Race fans are nuts?
Truly, nuts could be described as driving a vehicle at speeds in excess of 60 MPH while other drivers operate vehicles going the opposite direction at equal or greater speed, all the while less than 10 feet away from each other, (in many cases, far less) on the same roadway.
Need I mention, there is nothing between you and the other vehicle than a stripe on the road and a little bit of air. There is nothing keeping you apart, beyond the mechanical reliability of the vehicle and the talent of the person operating it.
1000's of people die each year doing this very thing....
Would we ever consider outlawing undivided, bi directional highways?
The NTSB has, probably, in excess of a million miles of said, proven very dangerous roadways within the domain of its "advisory capacity".... Yet, I've never once heard anyone, inside or outside of the NTSB speak of closing these extremely dangerous roadways. They are what they are, we recognize them as what they are and continue to use them with little thought of what *could* hapen....
If this society would ever truly grasp the concept of cause and effect and along with it, the reality of the risks inherent to our day to day existence.. I don't think we'd even be having this discussion.
My God.. we're living on a rock, in the middle of nowhere, hurtling through space at a an average speed of 67,108 MPH, with nothing but danger surrounding us...
