we are all entitled to our opinions, if you don't like mine that is ok with me and if i don't like yours that should be ok with you just the same. i think we all like and admire Arnie and i have as much respect for him and what he has done as anybody but there does come a time for EVERYBODY when you can no longer do the things you have done your entire life and it seems to some of us that time is getting near for Arnie and i hope he doesnt hurt himself or somebody else before he and those around him realize that. somebody mentioned that if you made him get out of the car that would kill him, how do you think he would feel if he hurt or killed sonebody because he was to stubborn to quit when he should have ? i would think that would bother him or any of us if we hurt or killed somebody more than having to give up something we love because we just can't do it safely any more. i also realize that its a risk we all take when we go to the track but in my opinion there is a difference in taking a risk and taking an unnessasary risk and i'm afraid thats the place that Arrnie is getting to. by the way i quit climbing trees years ago.... lol

Not an "anyone" but maybe the "Christmas Tree" (if it could talk) might have another opinion on that statement, LOL! Bill Bader was pissed!

I don't disagree with this statement, but where's the evidence that he's lost a step? I haven't seen any. Just his being old isn't reason enough.
