"Why can't folks just follow the rules?"
Because they are lazy and always seek the easy way out ?
And all they really care about is the glitz and notoriety of hot rodding,

just my 2 cents Your Mileage May Vary
c heers, 'Dirt Track Doug '
-105 + miles south of the world famous 'Syracuse
Mile '
-241.4 miles north of the Williams Grove Speedway pit gate
-2247 or so miles due east of the marvelous Bonneville Salt
Flats
