You think stock car racing is boring and yet you watch F1? At least there's occasional passing in stock cars. :)

Actually, I like all of those mentioned, as well as many other types (touring car, local stockers, World of Outlaws, American Le Mans, whatever). I've even been known to get into drag racing. It's too much to follow all at once, though, so I tend to tune up and down the motorsports dial a lot.

I used to write online columns for a racing website, Tony Johns's now-defunct Racing Point of View. Maybe I should dig up my copies of those and put them up somewhere in the Lab & Grill now that RPOV is gone.

Wrong. I do pick up the comps whenever I happen to notice another one has come out, though.

I'm actually more of a Taiho Shichauzo fan than an Aa! Megami-sama! fan, which means that the girls from Taiho are probably going to assume more prominent roles in the GW cast as (when)(if) the project progresses...
