Yes, and the occasional wife beater shirt to go with those shorts.

I'm no occasional wife beater.

Not sure this is the forum to brag about beating your wife regularly.

That's one way to read it.

Have you stopped beating yours?

I am going to bet whatever makes sense to bet. But if somebody is seriously considering what is best for racing, you are out of your self-absorbed effing mind if you think it is NOT a TC. Playing "Lucy with the football" on the general public has gotten old--try listening to something other than an echo chamber such as this one. There is a larger world out there.

If you don't give a crap about growing the game (or even seeing it wither away less slowly), wish for whatever the hell you want--nobody can or will take away your petty miserableness. Enjoy it, instead of a life.

I have no doubt everyone wants the game to grow. We love it, thats how we keep it around.
that said, many think having a shot at a tc generates more interest than actually getting a winner would. That interest sould go down in the first years after a winner. Id love to find out if thats true!

And ic, it doesnt have anything to do with it. Just tired of any criticisms being met with 'well, casual fans.....'
