NASCAR II

Hi I'm one of the "idiots" who has just started posting since Adam posted a possible demo for the 15th. I subscribe to this news group because of the great information often posted here. One of the things that always kills me about race fans is there often closed mindedness about which is the best form of racing. As a Go-Kart racer I have have participated in many different forms of racing. From sprint racing on asphalt, Sears Point and even oval racing at Roseville. I enjoy it all and I enjoy playing all forms of sim racing. Racing is racing. I may not be a "real racer", but anyone who hasn't tried Karting doesn't realize how close Karting is to real racing. Patiently awaiting the demo, N2KARTN "Opinions are like ***s, everybody has one"

Anybody who hasen't seen these guys race, is missing a great show. I however think it's a tad dangerous for me. I saw a race on an oval at C***te, and in one race they took two people away with broken necks. But, toher than that, if you like a great race, go watch some karts. Mike

I haven't done it for awhile but I am going to start racing radio controlled cars again this years. Many people wouldn't consider that "real racing" but the way I see it, if the object is to go fast and get to the finish line first it is "Racing". I find it amusing that some people don't consider kart racers "real racers". I don't race karts and I wouldn't want to but it is definitely "real racing". Apparently if you don't race in Winston Cup, Indycar, or Formula 1 you must not be a real racer. If I had the money and support to work my way through the ranks of professional racing I feel I could be pretty good on any level. But I don't have the money to do that and not many other people do either. So I race what I can and if the opportunity arises to get into other forms of racing I will take them. Just like you said racing is racing. I would race anything, anywhere. Except a drag car, now this is the one thing I don't consider real racing. This is nothing but a waste of time and good ***. Drag racing is nothing but a big hole that people throw money into, and nobody cares about except the "racers" themselves. I'm not worried about being flamed by fans of drag racing, they will be too busy waxing their cars to bother. If it wasn't the truth it wouldn't hurt anyway. Dana Bailes

Racing is racing. I may not be a "real racer", but anyone who hasn't As a fellow Kart racer who has driven drag cars and stock cars in the past I agree with you 100% as far as I'm concerned the only difference between a Kart and a race car is size :)! Trev
