All Jacked Up…and Standing Tall On MY Soap Box!!!

Brandon, you said it all and it's going to get worse. Hopefully fans will pay more attention to the real story rather than depending on part time "racing" journalists for their information. With the people of RR, it's easy to get the real deal of what actually happened. Just ask.Pete
Brandon Reed said: Ah, Jeff my friend, you just hit upon one of my pet peeves, and one of the things I railed against when we spoke in Dawsonville back in October.
The problem is that, in this technical age, anybody with a computer and some web space can be a "racing journalist". They can spout anything that they want with little fear of reprisal and little need for research.
Part of the problem is that some people present their "opinions" based as facts with very little, if any, research. The problem is compounded by groups such as the NASCAR PR wing, which works very hard to erase certain parts of history while placing over-emphasis on others.
That's one of the reasons I started my website. I got sick of seeing the real journalism and the real stories get buried under blogs run by people who don't understand the history of the sport and don't seem to want to go and do the research and work it takes to tell the real stories. That's why your website is very, very important.
People like you and I (and all the folks here, from what I can see) will just have to keep standing on the rooftops, yelling the truth and railing against those who wish to bury or ignore it. This is truly the good fight, Jeff. Keep it up.
