i_love_burritos Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 [hide=Trolling.]*Cracks Knucles* OK Trolling Time. I don't understand why people would pay good money, and large multi-nationals, shell out millions of dollars just to watch some fast cars go around and around and around... ad infinitum. Frankly it's not a sport, its a occasion for Motorheads to get together and hoon around. Why not spend those tens of millions of dollars on charity instead. (And pollute less) I understand, why company's must do it as, they must get a large sum of money from endorsments and advertising. But to me its pointless.

When i'm watching a race i'm with at least a dozen people 80% of the time and we are chatting, hooting and hollering and just having a good time. And the crashes are awesome too. And seeing the drivers compete for position on the track is no less exciting than watching a man run a football to the end zone. And i will end this post with a mandatory: JEFF GORDON RULZ!

jemathonical Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The only reason one watches NASCAR is to see the crashes, right? Never properly watched a full NASCAR race (saw the finish on news one night, pretty much all there is to see) and it would be mad to be right next to the track when a car smashes into it ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it!

thrash-boy Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 On the subject of motor racing, the WRC season is back on track, now that requires skill. clay is for racing, tarmac is how you get there! nascar is boring. its even more boring than v8 supercars here in australia, and F1 everywhere. v8 supercars here is slowly turning into a combination of nascar and F1. It still uses cars that somewhat resemble what you would see on roads, but there is so much traction control bs and sequential gearbox rubbish. luckily it hasn't gone all the way to the bottom yet and turned to paddle shifts, but sequential boxes are dam close. out of all the v8 supercar seasons in the last 5 or so years, they have all been drop dead boring. 10 or so years ago (when i was young) they still had a tint of excitement in them. still, nothing beats seeing brock in mid 80's, back when there were other cars except for crappy new age commodores and plain stupid and shiety falcons. [hide=aussie lingo]btw for all you ford fans out there, in the 1986 (the first year i thought of googling) james hardie bathurst 1000, you came 4th (in a mustang, the only decent ford). the second placed ford didnt finish (also a mustang), and there were only 2 other fords (sierra and escort) that also didnt finish (where are the falcons?, oh i forgot there all on the rubbish dump). holden came 1st, 2nd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 22nd, 23rd, 25th, 28th and 29th. there were also 7 other holdens that didnt finish, 3 of which got further than your 2nd placed mustang. Source this was back in the day when winning bathurst actually meant something. there were all sorts of makes and models (so its fair) and the cars didnt have to be modified to run exactly the same, they were ACTUAL manufacturer cars. v8 supercars nowadays are not real cars, they are rubbish[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and Holden > Ford, even if Ford has been winning lately. I never understand why people enjoy NASCAR. Its like the lets watch cars go around and around for hours burning up gas, putting pollutants up into the air, etc. Its like everything America shouldn't stand for. I think you either enjoy car racing, or you don't, but if you don't, don't complain about it... *entertainment > environment, thats how it is for me.

Danqazmlp Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm not going to bash nascar too bad, but personally i cant stand it. Only driver i know is Juan Pablo Montoya, and thats because he came from F1 first, and he probably isn't even in it anymore. I have 'tried' watching it before, but it really has no appeal to me, i'm a man for the lower ranked races, watching the formula ford uk races, renault clio cup races and the like are more fun than any top racing.
