Karl....I couldn't agree more. I've always found it humorous when racers spoke of 'praying' for a round win, or even an event win. I personally believe that racing is an odd thing to pray for. I would think there are more important things to pray for than a win light at the drags. I'm not a praying man, but if I were, I'd choose things like health, peace, safety (etc.) long before I ever worked far enough down the list to find 'drag racing'.
That said, I've worked closely with RFC at several events. As an announcer I consistently promote their services, and sincerely encourage people to attend their meetings and support their work. I should probably attend some of their services...it sure wouldn't hurt me.
If I ever hear another racer say they prayed for success at the track, I think I'll puke. I seem to remember Angelle praying a lot....but then again, she cries a lot too....
