Who's watching NASCAR?

[Bob Denman]

Are you watching the 600 mile race tomorrow night? :dontknow:

Will you be rooting for THIS car?

 

[SpyderAnn01]

I'll watch it but I don't think the camera will spend much time on the Can-Am car as it is usually pretty far in the back.

 

[Sam Mac]

F1, then the Indy 500 then DVR the Nascar race. Sorry but no I will not be holding my breath for Jeffery. Met him at Lime Rock when he was racing in the Busch North series a few years ago, nice guy but not the sharpest tool in the shed.

They had a great three part series on the history of Nascar. I found it very interesting since I lived about five miles from the Daytona International speedway when I was growing up.

Turn left, follow dummy in front. A bit like watching paint dry. Too much regulation. Best racers are on MOTORCYCLES. No safe little cages. Remember our Heros who gave their lives for our Freedom.

Ryde on.:riding:

That's a different Spyder. Nothing to do with Can-am Spyder. They are an active wear maker.

But still: you've got some good eyes; to catch it! :clap::firstplace:

I think its safe to say that car racing is very popular in North America. Motorcycle racing not so much! Please do not criticize car racing as that will not shine the limelight on motorcycle racing. Better to compliment car racing and suggest a good motorcycle race we could enjoy.:lecturef_smilie:

I started with Nascar in the good old run what you brung days. Most racing in North America is pretty well nutless so it takes lots of money to run equally. You are correct, I love to see the crowds across the pond attend a motorcycle race. It is all about the dollar. Motorcycle event are in the off hours on some obscure cable channel. One may use as a guide TV Racer.com. At least you can grab it for latter viewing. Remember the Isle of Mann next month! Cheers up there ya'll.

Will be watching the NASCAR race shortly. Don't care about the CanAm sponsored car. My favorite drivers are #48, 18, and 88.

 

[Sam Mac]

Watched the F1 race and the Indy 500 now I'm getting ready for the Coke 600. I'd like to see Tony Stewart win but I'm not holding my breath. F1 race was pretty good, Indy 500 OK. Hope the weather holds for the 600 and that they get the whole thing in.

Nascar. got to be the most boring sport ever! around and around they go. Now if they were shooting at each other, well that would something to watch!

I suggest that you try your abilities at racing sometime. Be it circle track or road racing what ever is your choice. I'd be willing to bet that you would have a change in attitude after the green flag dropped. Trust me it is not as easy as it looks on TV. The reality is that it's more like driving on ice for the full length of the race. Being on the edge of control for the full length of a race is a serious rush. Go do a high performance driving school sometime. Trust me I know what I'm talking about and have my share of wins to prove it.

:agree: If you don't like racing: try Demolition Derbies!
