This is the Stattmann Baby!!  Time to Scatt a little bit.

Through the years I’ve heard people brag about being a motor racing fan but they just can’t stand one form or racing or another.

Putting a man or woman in a machine and asking them to perform at the peak of their ability is only one part of the beauty of motor racing.

There’s also team support, strategy, stare downs, speed and so much more.

I may not be a MotoGP fan but I certainly appreciated all of the above when I watched MotoGP riders at Laguna Seca this weekend.

I ride a motorcycle but they need to come up with another term to describe their effort or mine.

And more to the point here, if you can’t find it within yourself to appreciate the speed and beauty of MotoGP, then you aren’t a motorsports fan.

Be a NASCAR, Champ Car or Indy Car fan.  But when you grow up to the beauty of motorsports, let me know.

Maybe that’s why kids aren’t buying today’s motorsports.  Maybe they aren’t buying the hypocrisy of today’s motorsports fan.

Peace.
