Amen to all of what you said! Brice is the person that started Angelle.
Wierd to me is that Peggy a Black lady took out Craig's Bike owned by Harry a Black guy The main 2 Black people in the NHRA PSBike have to take each other out!
I was tickeled at what she said! Thanks to my Dad who put me on a Motorcycle when I was 7 years old! I liked that win because she has class!

WIth Only 2 of them period (In PSM NHRA), it was a SHame that for one to get in they had to knock the other out! SOrt of like Team mates, you do not want to get in at the expense of your team mate. SO far, no "NHRA" "Professional Ranks" has there been a Champion that was Black and I would like to see it!
Now to answer your Question, Cruz Brothers both in the finals he stated nice to see the "Brown" People both in the Finals. As a Black person, It does my heart good to see someone Black do good in a SPort and Organization where none have done it before.
What has Tiger woods have to do with Golf? He is actually not even Black but many races in 1 person who has caused the Participation and viewing of Golf by people "Other" than WHite to be up MANY hundred%
What does James Bubba Steward have to do with MotoCross?
What does the William Sisters have to do with Tennis?
What did I have to do with Road Racing in the AMA? Look around at an AMA Road Race! Count up all of the Black Riders (Try to use more than 1 finger)
What do I have to do with Land Speed Racing? See any Black people in the 200 MPH Club? Using 1 hand and counting ALL of the organizations How many do you count?
Last, PLEASE Try to understand that when I see these things I grew up during a time where we were not allowed to participate no matter the Skill level (AMA NOT UNTIL 1952 allowed Balck Membership). SO to live long enough to see these things happen, I not only get to enjoy the Skill Level of the person but also the fact that 30 to 50 years ago I would not have seen them do it period! So to me, this is not Racist, but is what you get to see when there is LESS Racisim! Now, is this a Good thing or a bad thing I am enjoying? I think it is a GREAT thing I am seeing where now if you have the Skill and can find the money, you can do just about anything you want to do no matter what! I LOVE IT!!
