Now gotta agree with ya about the food in New Orleans...... man makes me hungry just thinking about it.
lol.. try going 180mph without any doors/roof/fenders around you in a 1200 pound so called "go kart" with the power to weight ratio of a missile. Takes a hell of a lot more balls doing that then being wrapped up in a car imo. Besides a lot of the best racers in stock cars come from open wheel racing now: Gordan, Stewart, Newman, Edwards to name a few. I love stock cars, but true open wheel racing is the best.

Inlaws are all from New Orleans and all seem to enjoy getting my pale Oregon ass out in the middle of summer to sweat off about 20 pounds in a three day visit..
