The technology available in a race car now leaves a driver more on the edge than in any other sport. Handling the car takes the stamina of a long distance runner, and the timing and control of a professional pitcher, golfer, tennis player, or shooter for that matter.. all at 190 mph with any one of 20-30 other guys who are just as tuned and trained as you are. Split second timing, a quick light touch on several controls, the ability to make life or death decisions, all come into play, with concequences for mistakes like no other sport in the world... But you can dismiss it all you want, I love it... I'm not dismissing the skill or balls it takes to drive in NASCAR. I just think it dull compared to sports car road racing or Formula 1 racing and overly commercialized. Frankly, I found "Bike Week" in Daytona far more entertaining than the two NASCAR races I attended at the speedway. But that's just me. Bike Week at Daytona.......topless chicks.......... Yep, it is far more entertaining and interesting than watching cars turning left any day..........unless your last name is Herring. * ;-)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I was gonna' say, Harry likes the boobs.. and NASCAR tries to keep it a little more family.. I see the bead thing going on at Indy races, but not so much Sprint cup. I like most kinds of racin' been to Indy a couple of times as well as Limerock and Stafford for the really short tracks. Got to drive a Corvette pace car at Waterford several years ago when I worked for Chevy, Mrs. JW was right behind me in a Camaro before the start ![]() |
