Nope..... Nascar bores me to tears.....
Likewise. I did give a try, too, down at Daytona. Hell, I didn't even
like Daytona Beach. All those damned cars driving up and down.
That's because you understand it.
Yeah, right. It's real difficult to understand. Noisy and smelly, and
then there are the cars.

Sorry, but watching fake "stock" cars driving around a long oval at high
speeds just doesn't do it for me. It reminds me of playing with a basic
electric trains set. And watching cars driving up and down the beach
does even less for me.

See? I knew you didn't understand it. You don't know what happens when
you change tire pressure in one tire 1 psi, or what happens if you put
a little wedge in or out of the right side as opposed to the left,
what happens when you change brake bias, what happens when you change
your race line, diamond the corners, what happens when the track
changes as the day goes on, or when the sun hits it, or goes behind a
cloud. You don't understand the hundreds of people including
engineers, specialists in different areas, etc. that make up one race
team.

It's not that I don't understand it, Looooooogie. I understand auto
racing and its mechanics and physics. It's just that I find NASCAR
boring and, beyond that, I simply don't give a s---.
