I'm fine with some racing, I enjoy it, but not when it's a bunch of macho men who come with the intention to only race for money. I also can't be 100% trusting of the ability of the guy racing me to keep his car straight and not to wipe my tiny car off the road. At the end of the day I'm perfectly content just hanging out, making friends, and doing some fun runs sometimes. I'm by no means the "new" generation, I've been going to meets for almost 10 years, but that's just me.
My friend and I actually took a drive the other night, we used to do it back when the MSM was stock. We both noticed that now that we actually have faster cars than we did when we were 18, we drive a lot more sane. I told him it's probably cause we're growing up and starting to realize we don't want to wreck our cars or pay expensive tickets. That's why I don't really care to race. When I was younger I didn't really care, now that I'm older, I have other things to worry about than going to court and fighting to keep my license. No license means no work, means no money, means poor future. Just not worth it IMO. I don't judge, do what you do, but I don't have to or want to be a part of that car culture. I've had many friends who are no longer here because of the poor decisions they made behind the wheel. I don't need to prove myself or my car to anyone, I built it for my enjoyment, not to make money.
