What kind of racing fan are you? I ask that in all earnestness because there are a few different kinds. If you're like me and you've been a racing fan for a long time, you're probably nodding your head in agreement.
Some people love a specific racer or team, and are there to support their fave through thick and thin. Others just want to see quality racing action play out in front of them. And there are those who are just there for the crashes. The less said about them, the better, but we can't pretend they don't exist.
No matter what type of racing fan you are, what most of us don't really like very much is a parade. If you've got one or two racers/teams that are so categorically out in front of everyone else that the other guys don't even have a chance to compete, it's not very much fun for anyone. That's when you get a parade, and that's when racing is at its most boring.
