Making Stock Car Racing exciting.

Hell, I'm going to have to watch for those road course races and give NASCAR another try. Thanks to those of you who posted about them.

I lived in Marin and/or Sonoma County. It will always be Sears Point. NASCAR and road courses are fun to watch. I love to watch the Bristol's. There was a good point made. The cars are wider than the track was made for. The bottom line for me is that all forms of auto racing have become so unexciting. I was there when they went from front engine to back engine at Indy. I was there when new engines were introduced. I was there there when CAN-AM was cool. The racing scene now is just a bunch of old farts running around in generic cars that have so many rules piled on them that it is impossible to let a driver in a car that was made to race race. And if they crash and burn, so what.:ROTF: That's why people spend hundreds of dollars to "BE THERE".

Here's the schedule, but 6/24 and 8/12 are the road courses. http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2007/data/schedule.html Bristol and Martinsville are always great (IMHO) to watch as well. More going on than the plate races. I've been a fan for years, but lately I have come to agree with what's being said about the plate races and the super speedways being fairly boring to watch on TV. I'm sure they're better in person, but I was always a Friday night short track kind of guy anyway ;-). As for the comment that they should look more like the cars the represent... I agree 100%.
