How? How is it good stuff? I remember as a child watching a race with a friend's father. The cars went around the track once, I got up ready to leave, but they kept going. I didn't get it. I asked the father what the deal was, and he told me that they go around multiple times. Okay, I said, that's understandable. Simple track like that, couldn't just be once around. How many laps? Three, five, seven?
"Two hundred."
I calmly set down my soda and walked out to play in the sandbox, because even then, at that early an age, I had the common sense to know that if I sat down and watched that race to the finish, I would die.
I really just don't get the fascination with it all. It's like watching a hamster run on its wheel. I could put mutant guinea pigs into go-karts, lock the gas and the wheel, and achieve the same effect.
