MX or superbike racing I'll watch all day long. NHRA too. To each their own.[/QUOTE]


Harold i agree :smile:.

Yeah, uh huh, we know the kind of "drag" racing you like to watch.

touche!

Couple years back my inlaws bought me one of those day long training events at a small track in Spokane. They were "only" 450hp cars, and it was only a short half mile track, but damn, it was tough just for the several 25 lap runs we did. You do the work stearing on the straights - almost have to turn it towards the wall to get it to go straight, then its a coast/partial throttle through the turn and it almost turn on its own. By the afternoon 50 lap run, it was about 90 degrees out, and by lap 40, I was beat. Finished up there, went back to the trailer, showered, then ran over to the drag strip and ran my truck in the diesel drags. Ran a best of 13.10- but I broke out on that run, and put the final nail in the stock tranny on that run too...but it held together just enough for me to pull my trailer back home the next day.

Not at all sir.
 

Not at all you hippie:lol:. Just throwing stones back in the direction they came from. Now who's taking things personal???:na: BUT yes I am passionate about NASCAR. It sort of keeps me grounded being overseas so much and missing out on everything in the USA.

NASCAR sucks :na::na:!!!! All they do is run in circles except for the 2 road courses they have.

I used to watch NASCAR a lot when I was still stateside but not anymore since it would be early Monday morning here instead of Sunday afternoon. I'm just glad we have the dayoff this coming Monday for the superbowl.

Cool sometimes it's hard to tell how people take stuff :lol:. Nascar still blows or is that harold that blows ?.:gasp:

I quit watching nascar when the car of tomorrow (today?) came out, I just don't agree with it anymore. I see no progression in a sport that is stuck on 70's tech, I know safety is state of the art, I'm talking carbs and MSD ignitions. And the bodies, It's the same body and essentially the same motor. Its all a spec class anymore, I'll stick with rc.

Actually, that's exactly why I still like it. F.I. is great, but then with that comes computer controls, and then before you know it you have F1. I like keeping the tech in the garage, not with the programmers.

Agree
 

I have to agree with you on that one. I like the fact that in NASCAR it is the driver out there all by him/herself doing the driving. NO computer teams tweaking as they drive. WIth teh car of today it is all evened up and the driver has to out smart the rest of his competitors. Raw racing skills rule.
