A $36,000 motorcycle engine
A $500,000 Dodge Charger
A $4,000,000 hydrogen streamliner
There were 500 entries at SW, all with their own story. Yet they choose
those three and some accidents. That is the epitome of journalism,
pandering to the ignorant and titillation of the morose. It fills air time
and pays the bills but nothing more. It was not a show designed for a racer.
It was simple minded entertainment for the uninformed who will go away even
more deluded.
The Worlds Fastest Indian told a story that is closer to the heart and soul
of the majority of the racers. To tell a good story takes hard work, talent,
and intellectual honesty. The Discovery Channel failed all three.
