RIR just built the coffin to put nails in.

Just this past weekend, RIR was begging local businesses to open up and promote the races at RIR or they stand a chance of losing one or both NASCAR events due to low attendance at both races this past year. Bet this helps them out a lot, NOT! Paul Sawyer is turning in his grave as I type.

I don't care, I am a non-smoker and it doesn't not bother me. So, while they're at it, put a ban on perfumes and colognes, either of which will send me into an allergic frenzy.

I am also a non-smoker (even quit the occasional cigar), but in outdoor venues I don't see the harm in smoking. You can't smoke at the Diamond in Richmond. I used to enjoy a baseball game, a beer, and a cigar. Virginia, where tobacco was and still is a major cash crop, has become a smoke free nanny state.:barf:

C'mon down to southside VA, in a few years you can light yer cigars with spent uranium. Yep, last November the constituents elected Robert Hurt for Washington and this past Tuesday elected Ralph Stanley (not even a native Virginian) to take his place. Both are staunch rich men crones, who favor uranium mining in Pittsylvania county, so the people of our county and district have already sealed their fate.

I don't know about Virginia, but I can tell you that in neighboring NC, marijuana has surpassed tobacco in cash crop monies. The NW counties of NC grow and sell more MJ now than moonshine even. Those Wataugans don't cotton to the US government and for the most part, the US government stays out of their way.

Plenty of Mary Jane being grown in Virginia, trust me. A few years ago there was a bust right in Colonial Heights. Someone had converted a house into an indoor marijuana farm. It was wired up with grow lights everywhere.

Authorities have gotten smart on indooor growing now, they can either use infrared sensors or monitor the power being used by a household, very risky if one is growing lots of MJ for profit, smaller amounts for one's own consumption are rarely ever found (or cared about) lest someone get stupid and mouth off.

We have our fair share being grown outdoors, but mainly in very rural areas. The way my angst has been lately, I'd almost take out a 2nd mortgage for a year's worth of the medicinal quality stuff. :>)
 
I've been a non-smoker for almost my entire life, with the exception of a very rare indulgence in those great little 'Black' cigarillos I developed a taste for in Chile.
While we have no doubt of the results of smoking (Sofie sees more than enough!!) unless Governments all over ban it (never ever going to happen) then the smokers have every right to continue to kill themselves.
However, I believe non-smoking areas are the right of those of us who require them.

'Equal Rights' methinks.

Well, this's nothing to do with racing, but everything to do with my subjective feelings. And sort of a honor to the Nelson family, but this is how I feel about it all, if you can't please everyone, then you've got to please yourself!

Reminds me of the time in Columbia CA when the pot growers reaped their crop and then burned their field creating a large grass fire (no pun intended). The entire fire department got high that day!
