>>… there are pleeeenty of us who would ride one of those babies.  I wouldn't race one, but if I had a chance to get out there on a track by myself I damn sure would jump at that opportunity.  When I was 40 years younger I might even race on one of em.  Looks like a hell of a lotta fun to me.  spike

Of course I’m an introvert Billw!  That’s why I hang out on the internet!  It’s a gift, the introvert’s playground.  You can be as Aspergers as you want, for it doesn’t matter if you cannot read body language when there is no actual visual feedback to read.  The internet is the great equalizer, or really the great… superiorizer in a sense.  Bar fight breaks out, somebody hits the breaker switch, completely dark room, the blind guy whoops everybody’s ass and doesn’t even realize why it was suddenly so dang easy. 

 

Racing sports don’t require one to be extroverted.  Win the race, bikini babe on the podium, I’m like: eeewww, hand over the trophy and get away from me, trollop!  Temptress!  Well OK, stay for the photos, then vamoose papoose!  That sorta thing.

 

Classic example, I saw this movie in a theatre.  When Jack delivered these lines, the audience was laughing so hard you couldn’t hear the end of the sentence.

I had to buy the DVD just to study Jack’s techniques.

 

I do confess I had a blast at the ExtroCons, all of them, even though there was all that icky face to face.  With that crowd it was crazy fun, but had it been with normal people, eeewwww, adios amigo.

 

Racing is a solitary sport mostly.  Great for introverts, unless they win and hafta get up in front of everybody on the podium.
