Re: I smell.......

Unfortunatly for most rednecks it has become so popular in the last few years that they can't afford to go to a race without missing a trailer payment.

Every race that I go to (except for Chicagoland) costs me at least $1000 after tix, hotel, food, drinks, etc. I wish it was 15 years ago as far as that is concerned.

I was at the Indy motor speedway during the time trials when the car flipped into the stands. Never went to another time trial or race after that.

Going to a race is an entirely different experience than watching it on TV. Not even close. Unbelievable.

Great. Another season of watching people turning left for 200 laps. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I used to like F1 before it got neutered. The rest? meh.

Re: I smell.......

I went to the Busch race in KC last year and had a great time. I'm not even really a gearhead and I enjoyed it. 43 cars blow by with no mufflers, burning leaded gasoline...ARRRGHH ARGGHG ARRRGHH!!!! Loud, fumes, beers, and lots of honeys! A lot of $$ and engineering involved these days...not just who has the fastest "shine" car.

NASCAR = quite possibly the most boring sport on earth. Despite its popularity. Just MHO.

You MIGHT want to check it out this season. There have been a lot of changes made.

Golf wins by a mile on that one, followed by MLB, basketball, tennis, and soccer.

I think they should be forced to do one of three things: either drop the NASCAR acronym, change it to National Association of Specialized CAr Racing, or go back to using stock cars instead of custom-built rods.
