I Have a Dream

Today is the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech. In celebration of that, I would like to note that I have my own dream.

I have a dream that my friends can live in a nation where they will not be judged by the displacement of their engines, but by the horsepower on which they put to the wheels.

I have a dream that one day, all speed bumps will be exalted, every hill and every mountain shall be driveable, the rough places will be made plane, and the straight places will be made curvy.

But not only that, but let engines rev from the lots of Georgia, let engines rev from the mountains of Japan, let engines rev from every hill and molehill from California, from every mountain side. Let engines rev...

When we allow engines to rev - when we allow them to rev from every garage and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of motorsport's children, drifters and grip drivers, v8s and 4 cylinders, will be able to join hands in the old racing spiritual, "Drive at last, drive at last, thank God a-mighty, we can drive at last."
