  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Washington State Legislators sure don't like NASCAR

The most pointed, derogatory comment made by a Washington legislator was attributed to State House representative Larry Seaquist, a Democrat who made it clear that he does not want NASCAR and its fans in his beloved home state.

"These people are not the kind of people you would want living next to you," he told a Fox television news station there. "They'd be the ones with the junky cars in their front yard and would try to slip around the law."

Frank Chopp, another Democrat who is the powerful State House Speaker, was asked about Petty's visit and added: "You mean the guy who got picked up for DUI? He's not a member of the House last time I checked."

I know people live around racetracks, partly because it was built after they were already there or they wanted a short commute to it, but I really doubt many people will move just to live next to a racetrack. I know I wouldn't...

Are you missing the point Cliff?

He is basically calling NASCAR fans trash.
