Re., Brian: << Actually, if someone thinks their not racing when they're on 
the track, 
 then what are they doing?  The difference between "showing", "touring", 
 "lapping" and racing is a huge piece of attitude that says I'm trying as 
 hard as I can to go as fast as I can, and to beat you to the finish line.
  >>
Just a hypothetical,  but is someone who isn't racing a little like the blue 
haired lady in the Buickgoping slow in the fast lane with a turn signal 
constantly blinking?
SVRA has/used to have exhibition "races" with very limited rules of 
engagement. Maybe more drivers should take that option.
As for cars as stars - nothing is finer than seeing a good car well driven.
