There’s a real world out there completely unlike the fantasyland that is drag racing.  It’s a world in which people have bills to pay, jobs to go to and concerns often far more important that the next four second run or round of eliminations.  We visit that world when we’re away from the track, but some of us are so wrapped up in what we’re doing that what’s taking place in homes all across America sometimes escapes our notice.
