Re: Ovals only in Nascar heat?

They run road courses also, Sears Point, Watkins Glen and one in Japan. Lot of fun to attend the races in person. Cold beer, half naked women and lots of squirrel juice to consume. But really, it grows on you quickly. J. Janasov Johan N <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I don't know a thing about Nascar because i'm from Sweden and we just don't know much about it. Is it driven in US only and on ovals only? Is the cars something like European touringcars? -- Greetings Johan N [email hidden]

I would assume "beer".... could be "moonshine" (i.e. homemade liquor) too. Jan. =--- Cox Cable News wrote...

Maybe like big, heavily modified touring cars. Nowhere near street-legal. Nowhere near being stock. Two road courses for the top division, Winston Cup, each year. All others are ovals. US only except the Winston West division, I believe. They have a race in Japan each year. Very physical racing, like Touring Cars, and much maligned by folks outside the US who don't give it an open mind. BTW, I love NASCAR, Touring Cars, F1, CART, even a little horse racing! :) Racing's racing and it's all fun. -- ----------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten GPLRank: +16.84 mailto:[email hidden] http://members.tripod.com/~morganv/ ----------------------------------- Johan N <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I don't know a thing about Nascar because i'm from Sweden and we just > don't know much about it.

I beg to differ. There are two oval tracks in Australia, one flat and one super speedway tri oval style. We race US sourced Nascars, Auscars, which are derived from local Ford and GM products plus other classes. If you really want a challenging track for Nascar, they have run at Bathurst as a support category one more than one occasion. How about Bathurst for Nascar Heat! Peter

Spoken like a man after my own heart. Some say 'F1 is boring, no overtaking'. They are missing all the subtleties of different pit strategies, team-mate vs team-mate battles, etc Some say 'Nascar is boring, all ovals'. They are missing out on stuff like, which line around that oval is slightly faster, who is pitting on the back-straight etc. Motor racing is great, period. I will watch Moto-X, f1, cart, Superbikes, Rally, local short-track stuff, the lot. (Well, alright, I DO find drag-racing a touch tedious, unless I'm actually there, and can smell the tyre smoke, etc) cheers simon
