This is a rate the race thread, not asking for a dissertation. Goodness.
Makes me wonder about the BenHur chariot race, and the way he saved his spokes. Perhaps Charleston Heston inspired James Garner who grew up to to do the Gran Prix movie.
And maybe Charleston Heston inspired George Jones to write and "the race is on, heartaches down the backstraight, and the winner looses all"...
Maybe between Charleston and George Jones Southern twang they inspired the Southern man to make Nascar top priority... then there was Dale Earnhardt.
Maybe Charleston and James Garner inspired Aryton Senna to be an F1 driver too.
I also think that things would be different if the Mongols would have had cameras to document their horsmanship, too. But the philosophical side of me knows some of that stuff was probably better unseen, and unsaids.
I agree and think it is important to rate the Michigan race, the thread deserves an honest answer.
But I have not rated Ben Hurs Chariot race yet, or James Garners Monaco race.
I cant seriously evaluate Michigan, until I finish rating the first two.
And I cant even do them until I finish with the Mongol archeological findings.
So you will just have to excuse me for not being cheap enough to jump ahead to Michigan while ignoring the stuff that others died for in those movies.
I have to live with myself, and my integrity to maintain. I cant just do some evil thing that like that, and bring dishonor to the raisings my Mom and Dad provided.
They grew in depression times and I am thankful for the values they taught me.
If I had just a few moments I would say more about them... (to be continued)
