Look, I'm not telling you all to become choir boys or anything, or even to drop the rock & roll (though I'm more of a Rush fan myself - Snakes & Arrows tour FTW). I just think it's important to be...

Sprinter, Toycoma, it's that sort of attitude that has drifting under attack at Altamont, and prevents it from becoming an institution at speedways and road courses across America.
