Auntysquat, you are correct about it being personal.Just as I am labeled a cheerleader based on my posting habits of being positive on the series. Others are on the polar opposite of that based on thier posting habits of being the doom and gloomers.As for pulling down my pants? I only do that for my wife. Others can pull them down for whom they want and it would not bother me a bit.AuntySquat, I would expect you would want to follow your own path regardless of whom you refer too. As for facts,the article said reduced sponsorship and not greatly reduced.Its right their in black and white.As for the rest of this fun I think I will step back before Repose has to step in.LOL.

^ The reference to your pants was a figure of speech. The preferred path for me is to watch the races, enjoy them and hope that the series works its way back into the consciousness of people that have given up on it and is able to attract the continued attention of others.

Some, not all, of what appears here mirrors the reasons it's sunk so low. Hopefully, this thread will just drop off the page ... I won't be making further remarks.

And I thought Sonoma was empty this last race,the biggest section on the backside was all Penske giveaways. Hello anybody here? Lets back up and go to Seca.

Being a smoker shouldn't be a criterion for getting into a race IMO..

My buddy called in to get his free tixs for Sonoma and answered NO that he smoked he lost his tixs,the operator said tixs were for smokers only. I guess he wont have to worry next year.

I was mocking CliffC and his post of Marlboro leaving Penske.As for the ticket give aways we shal see but 25% sounds pretty high to me. I was at 2 races and their were not that many red hats at the 2 races I was in attendence.Which races were you in attendence thetruthbigd that had all of the red hats?

that's incredibly high. try 2 percent...MAYBE!!

Maybe IZOD will step up and do the ticket giveaways that Marlboro did.
