I enjoy the exhibition of skill and arms race to compete within a framework of rules.

Motor racing in particular gives me enjoyment to watch teams fighting each other and creating inventions that stretch and test the rule book, but with boundaries. Items like NASCAR’s Tiregate (doctoring the tires) are clearly beyond the line (to me and in the rule book at the time) while Penske’s fueling tower or race teams using custom air guns, different gases, or SCUBA tanks to drive their pneumatic guns are, for me, okay and legal until made illegal (as they have been now).
