"Some folks correctly pointed out that I know almost nothing about auto
racing. My stock response is that I know enough: that it kills fine young men
like Adam Petty far too often."
Hoo boy. Does this guy just get dumber?
I think the point that people were asserting was more about him being a
blathering idiot. No sh&t the Petty family grieves. But hey - taking an
unnecessary risk?
Take the train next time, dumb ass. Far less risky that those death machines
the hicks call "airplanes".
(Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.. hey, wait, that's below the Mason-Dixon line
too...)
My biggest point (besides that this guy is an idiot) is that he's obviously
paid to run off at the mouth about stuff he admittedly doesn't know much
about..
Oh, I could go on. I won't.
