We were out at the local sports pub watching the olympics tonight when NBC did a promo for this weekends Daytona Race. The on-going debate as to whether or not racers are atheletes came up.
I know I'm just an amatuer racer but just for the chance to be competitive at the local kart track, I'm trainig 6 nights a week(3 nights tread mill, 3 nights weights) This is just for racing at the local level, I've seen articles and short documentaries on the training regimines the world class drivers go through, so you'll know my vote goes to the fact that racers are atheletes.
But since I may be a bit biased, I'm asking for the opinion of my friends here on TF as to whether or not you think that racers are atheletes, Thanks in advance!
