nascar sucks. anybody can drive in a circle. If all I did every day was drive in a circle, I'd be pretty darn good at it. Maybe not a champion but, pretty darn good.

I am a huge NHRA fan, never could get into watching NASCAR, but I sure would like to drive one of those cars.

The wife and I both enjoy them sometimes,although she is the bigger fan,got some goodies from drivers we met at various races,including Daytona,nice track.

I lost interest in NASCAR before I was born... yano, when they stopped using stock cars from car makers to see just which one was "best".

Now, drag racing and road-courses I can get into!

I quit watching when the big E died.

Not as easy as it looks, Rufe, or as simple as you make it sound.

It's not really my cup of tea, but I have friends who love to go to the California Speedway in Fontana. Last year they kept calling in on a radio contest giving away free tickets to the 23d caller, or whatever it was, until they had won enough for the whole family to go to some big race.

i never understood nascar, but then i talked so some nascar fans. they WOULD be intrigued by shiny cars driving around in circles.

that said, driving in nascar would probably be fun

SKS NOOB · 07-09-2007, 09:02 AM

I find nascar boring, BUT I do understand the skill involved. Yeah it's driving in circles, but it's at roughly 275 mph on average. It's also the skill to out manuver your opponent while keeping yourself on the track. Its not like bumper cars or go-cart tracks. SO, that said, nascar lovers feel the same way about their shinny cars as we do about our cammoed guns.
