Well, don't take this the wrong way but I refuse to get into the Lemming
mentality and agree with what the SCCA or the Insurance companies want to
classify it as. (Or the Government for the matter...) 
I call it what it is. its racing.

Right, and if they ask, I tell them what it is and what its all about.
Inevitably they do ask and want to know what you drive ect..

Nor do I. I have my favorites but as we discussed before in that quaint
little bar in your home town, I love all motorsport racing. I'll pretty
much watch it all, whether it be swamp buggies to the short track
motorcycle racing. They all have their own uniqueness that I can admire
and respect. Its racing!  :)
