I don't mind it. And I have to admit that I crack up with the one-sided-ness of it all. The rebel in me kinda likes going to these events because no one expects an Asian girl at them. Because even in California, these events clearly draw a certain crowd.madretzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773461029643334609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-86022299938787888562009-09-20T19:06:21.974+02:002009-09-20T19:06:21.974+02:00Renny: Thank you, kind sir!

Even the ones who are prejudiced against those who are prejudiced! And on and on it goes. <br /><br />I have lived now 22 years in the South (having been raised in the Midwest) and have seen some things change for the better over time. When we moved to our Atlanta suburb 11 years ago, there were no Blacks. Now there are some, though still not many (more Hispanics!). The value for our money was why we moved here. Would we have done it now? I don't know. <br /><br />I just watched <i>Fried Green Tomatoes</i> again and was moved by a community that crossed all the barrier lines at a time when it was unheard of. I want to be an instrument of love in the world like that...not an instrument of hate and prejudice. That's why I'm really glad I went to this NASCAR race. We have to see the world in which others live in order to effect change in it...for both them and ourselves. It is indeed a two-way street. Truth and insight come even within the deepest prejudices!Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-54588382851926809232009-09-18T21:16:17.857+02:002009-09-18T21:16:17.857+02:00Seeing it through your eyes, makes even NASCAR fun...Seeing it through your eyes, makes even NASCAR fun - great pics; you have an eye for details :-)<br /><br />Happy Weekend!RennyBA's Terellahttp://www.terella.nonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-55857668159001041812009-09-17T02:33:49.065+02:002009-09-17T02:33:49.065+02:00ET: It was something I'm glad I experienced, ...ET: It was something I'm glad I experienced, for sure, but it did make me wonder about the sport and who it attracts!<br /><br />Ruth: Well, I finished the very last minutes on TV while working on my SC blogroll. HA! It's an experience I'm glad I had...try anything once, yes. Maybe it IS a lot different from Todd's crowd. I'm guessing so. It's definitely another world!<br /><br />Christina: It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round, as we know. With the gas shortage and all the "green" concerns these days, I think it would be real easy to boycott this sport altogether. :( Sigh. No bites on the house yet...but we are working on solutions for getting me out, to move on with my life! More to come on that.<br /><br />Sham: I guess when you have it in the family there's not much you can do about it except go along with it! It's a wonder it hasn't been banned as a sport with all the gas shortages! But as the biggest sport in the USA, maybe the powerful rule!Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-86910080018220368392009-09-16T15:20:58.970+02:002009-09-16T15:20:58.970+02:00I've never been to a NASCAR race but I've ...I've never been to a NASCAR race but I've been to plenty of other noisy car events, both Formula 1 and local races. Well, you have to when you have 2 boys who grew up with a car-loving dad, and there was always a couple of cars in pieces in the garage and driveway. And then the boys got themselves a Rally car and we went off on cross-country rallies every weekend, and of course don't forget the ice races in January when they dressed me up in a helmet and put me in the back of the car for ballast.... hmmmm!<br />I was in Charlotts SC on a NASCAR weekend a couple of years ago, didn't go to the race but oh boy it was an interesting weekend for people watching.Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-1058494757172310002009-09-15T11:09:51.745+02:002009-09-15T11:09:51.745+02:00Oooh, yes, I can just imagine how loud it must hav...Oooh, yes, I can just imagine how loud it must have been. Not my thing at all. And James Dobson? Grrr. But it's probably something that should be experienced once if only for the people watching aspect. We can learn so much from that...<br /><br /> P.S.

Love the pit crew photo the most... But sheesh that is a scary statistic.
