So it's NOT cars driving around and around an oval track? What then is it? There's a lot more to it than that, drafting, picking a line, keeping your car on the track and out of the other cars at 200+ mph. There's the car setup, and pit stragody. Taking care of your car so it makes it to the end of the race while maintaining a position that gives you the best chance to win the race. There's 40 some cars out there and only one is gonna win that race. Some won't even finish, some could be a few laps down. Not only is there that day's race to consider but a points race to the chase, and winning the season. |

I'd prefer a half time show... Just joshin' ya - I watched a whole race once. (That girlfriend took longer to get ready for a date than anyone else I ever met! Dumped her not long after the NASCAR incident.) |

I never said there was anything wrong with it nor was I being intolerant. I was making a personal observation from my one NASCAR race. It was exactly as exciting as watching traffic. If it trips your trigger, great. That's your opinion which is more more or less valid than mine. |

I will say again, those that say it's only cars driving in a circle are ignorant about the sport. |

As ignorant as anyone would be who doesn't give a flying fork about a subject. If it gives you a stiffie.... Enjoy it. |

If you didn't give a flying fork about the subject why didn't you keep your mouth shut? Seems the thing to do. |

It's never slowed you down. Why should you preach silence to anyone else? |

Butt out Brew, no Volts run in NASCAR. They aren't fast enough to be a pace car. |

Liberals have a problem with NASCAR; there can be only one winner. In the Libs world, everyone must be a winner. |

Nascar does rank as boring as hell, no different than any other sport that people enjoy I guess. It just doesn’t do it for us, we had a nice Super Bowl family get together with some good food and never watched the game. By March 1st I need to have a 3 month rental secured in the Daytona/Ormond beach area to house myself and crews that want to use it working away from home at the worst possible time with bike week next month. I grew up riding/racing dirt bikes and owned a couple street bikes and don’t see the interest in bike week either... If you want a sport "the independent still has a chance with" get your kids into middle and high school rowing (crew). The average person/kid if dedicated enough, and size doesn’t matter, has a good chance of receiving a full ride college scholarship if they can keep their grades solid at the same time... If the parents don’t dropout first. |
