No matter how you look at it it's a toy car. I've seen so much bs over the years at tracks from all classes and it just gets worse. The idea with a hobby is to have fun, enjoy yourself and tinker, but that's not good enough for a lot of folks. Attitude, smh.
I agree with you but I think it goes well beyond our little hobby. The "Karen" phase we all seem to be in as a society. I feel its the worst its ever been, and I agree with the guy above you too, I remember these talks in the late 90's every time participation started dropping off. Albeit wasn't all over the internet due to the fact we basically had AOL chat rooms at the time.
But I think the culture is way more toxic than its ever been, I've haven't seen anywhere else that a person in their 30-40's needs to scream at an 11 year about not flipping his toy car over correctly. Meanwhile their wives are berating an 18 year old server for not putting enough ice in their coke. Maybe we as a society need to truly look at ourselves, or we need to punched in the mouth and humbled a bit, I don't know I'm not a doctor? lol
Is the rest of the world as bad as Americans, on and off the race track?
