>>My dad used to work for Speed Queen. Don't dis them<<

Don't care who works for them, has nothing to do what I think about her as a driver. (and yes I wont be surprised when Tony pushes her across the line at Tally/Tona for a win)

>>US would submit to such media torture?<<

Not sure there is anybody with enough talent from the USA. How about that series Marco was in...no USA drivers in that?
