About this ebook
of some sortgolf, hiking,
reading, bridge, bird watching,
quilting, cooking, archeology, and
yes, even writing. In our society,
everyone is free to pursue his or
her own interest and there is a wide
range to choose from.
Racing is of huge interest to millions
of people, and racing has been
around for ages. Didnt they have
camel races in the desert years
ago? Most people today are simply
viewers. However, a number cant
resist becoming a participant,
whether it is a swimmer, marathon
runner, or boat, motorcycle or auto
driver. Then there are the BMX racing
bikes for kids. The Daytona Beach
International Speedway in Daytona
Beach, Florida, the third largest single
lit outdoor sport facility, seats nearly
168,000 for its NASCAR races and is
usually sold out. A countless number
of additional fans would not miss the
NASCAR races on television.
This book raises the age-old question
of why a man, or occasionally a
woman, would risk his health, his
financial wherewithal and much
more, possibly even his life, to
become a racer.
