Lighten up, Nancy.
Ridicule? I was sharing my passion with the board. Go back and look who I chose to post videos of.
"Some guy" is obviously the finest race car driver, ever. Many of us on this site believe that.
Watch his expression. Do you know that he practiced that nonchalant look? It was worth tenths of seconds a lap when other drivers saw him in a scary 4 wheel drift in the rain, tires clawing at the edge of the pavement, sawing at that big thin steering wheel with his trademark
'this is absolutely easy' look on his face.
The Great Sir Stirling Moss and so many of his compatriots and colleagues are my freaking heroes. Always have been. This includes 7-times world champion Michael
Schumacher.
Sorry if my dry humor caught you at a bad moment.
(I don't know of any racer named Shoemaker, except "Some Guy" who rode horses for a living, and I totally respect what he meant to his sport, too. But that's a different story, and who knows, maybe that's your attempt at some humor?)
