Umm, lemme think - NOPE.
Go back to your eutopia with F1, since it is so perfect.

Where's the part that says to shut down NASCAR?
Where's the part that says NASCAR safety practices are grossly
inferior to practices in other series?
Where's the part that says NASCAR fans are low-life, beer-swilling,
***-thirsty trailer trash?
Are you on the same planet, David?

So are you saying that in F1, there is zero potential of a fatal
accident?

Its not in all types of auto racing? Well, I guess that explains Button adn the
recent aquisition of Sauber.... :)
Seriously though, to stoop to this level to defend your flamebait is truly
pathetic.
But its the truth. Do you honestly believe that NO F1 drivers will die again,
EVER?
And its not 4, its 2....Winston Cup is the only thing that should be compared
to F1, and you know it...again.

Actually, and I hate to agree, DW DID say something to this regard.
"In F1, they have a team of experts go in and say, 'We want a chicane herem
tire barriers there.' When we complain, they say 'Shut up and drive.' "
Still doesn't say anything about beer-swilling fans, shutting down the sport,
or calling the cars "ugly and antiquated".

Again, F3000 and F1 combined do not equal NASCAR. I also doubt four people died
in it least year; no single racing series has had 4 deaths since possibly the
60s or 50s.

So if F1 has 2 deaths in 9 months, its bad luck? At this pace, that hole
you're digging will hit China in a week.

As for why I was awake in the middle of the night; I have had spinal
arthritis for the last 15 years and am unable to sleep for more than 2-3
hours at a time. This makes for bad sleeping habits, but it does allow for
more sim racing. :)
To be honest, I do not know why I spent so much time responding. I think
originally I stated it was because I had appreciated your contributions to
this newsgroup before, and I just wanted to figure out your reasons behind
such a mean spirited post. Sadly, none of this seemed to help, and a search
of dejanews proved that I think I was wrong about your past contributions to
r.a.s to begin with. You neglected to answer to most of the contradictions
to your reasoning that I pointed out. I think I answered every question you
posed back to me, and even agreed with you that there are some serious
problems that Nascar needs to address. But as I pointed out multiple times
to you, that is not what I was disputing or had a problem with. I had a
problem with the poor way you went about it and the flawed reasoning and
facts that you presented. When I presented you with questions regarding
actual facts(like the fact that no F1 driver has ever raced with a HANS
device to this day), you neglected to even respond. I was hoping for at
least some intelligent debate. I will agree with you that it was a complete
waste of my time to have ever responded to your posts in the first place.
