NASCAR is boring

IMO. the cars are ugly - noone can deny that, and the technology is somewhat - cumbersome. And they handle like trucks.

Yes, you have to hate any series that ends up with 5-6 cars that have a chance to win with 5 laps to go. Boring! I'd much sooner watch F1 where I can see the first lap and know who wins, that way I have the rest of the day free to do something else besides watch the race ;-) Good try at a troll so early in the morning but pretty weak overall.

If nascar is sooo interesting then why is it not a world-wide phenomenon...almost all nascar fans are americans... global apeal is important in showing how good a series is. imHo there are about 2000 different racing series the world over that include every form of motorsport. Personally id put nascar near the bottom of the list for appeal.

NASCAR has about the same "appeal" in Europe as F1 does here in the USA. So, by your logic, I guess F1 is not a worldwide phenomenon then...so its not important....right?

Can you imagine how expensive it would be to transport all those race cars all over the world once each week? And how about backup cars delivered to the track on a momment's notice. Can't be done overseas. If Nascar was worldwide: 1) The French would give up before the end of the first practice session. 2) The germans would just take someone else's car (probably from the French), and then burn their shop manuals. 3) The Polish team wouldn't be able to find their way out of the garage area, and would consider asking the French for help. 4) The Mexican team wouldn't have a pitcrew because they all defected to the American team, and demanded equal pay, hospitalization, and an education for their alien offspring 5) The Canadians would race, but they'd talk dirty about everyone behind their backs, especially the Americans, because the Canucks don't have any automotive industry of their own to speak of, and they feel that the Yanks are forcing them to use their cars, and probably de-tuned on top of it all. 6) The Iraqi's would deny having anyone entered in the race to begin with. 8) The Palestinians would seem to go through an awful lot of cars during each race weekend because they think they're building car bombs. 9) The Israelies will always be twitchy about the Palestinians having being in the adjacent garage stall, and would keep bulldozing the palestinians hauler and mobile home. 10) Jesse Jackson's team would demand equal time, but can only get his drivers to perform reasonably well if he tells them to "drive it like they stole it". The pitcrew would also take pitstops to an extreme by stealing their driver's car (or parts) and sell them to other teams through an obvious fencing operation. 11) The British would complain that steering wheel is on the wrong damn side. 12) The Spanish would be trying to - wait, are the Spanish still around? 13) The Cubans would not be invited. 14) The Chinese woud be invited, but they would be quarantined to the back strech, and they'd have food and stuff thrown over the fence so they wouldn't infect the rest of the competitors with SARS (Sneaky Asian Resperitory Sickness). 15) The north Koreans were disqualified because they showed up with a new nuclear-powered car they've developed - in secret. 16) Lichtenstein would be invited to compete, but they only have six citizens, counting the king, and he would rather ride horses, so that makes five. That's not enough people for a respectable Nascar team. 17) The Japanese would insist on being allowed to run their latest exotic 104 valve, titanium/carbon fiber engine that revs to a gazillion RPM, and only weighs three ounces. Nascar would let the partts go until the end of the race, and then confiscate the car but not award any penalty points.

I find NASCAR about as exciting as watching a NASCAR drive around an oval.

Thank you for explaining one aspect Jan. :)

I'm Italian and I love NASCAR. I'm a F1 fan since 1975 but I've to say that in the last 10 years F1 is not such enjoyable like NASCAR. F1 Gp's ARE boring.

The road to self-discovery is a lonely one, David, cratered with life's little pot-holes, and with no stops for food, gas, or lodging along the route. Cowboy-up or move the fuck over and let someone pass... :)

LOL... damn, that's a waste of a fine shot of jenever... at least it's alcohol so it'll evaporate out of the keyboard eventually. Jan. =---

NASCAR....NASCAR.....ah, that roundy round thingy ? Sure, if you're so inclined :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--

In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says... > NASCAR....NASCAR.....ah, that roundy round thingy ? > > Sure, if you're so inclined :-) Well, we used to have a NASCAR equivalent, AUSCAR but not exactly sure what happened to it. Was run at only 1 track going clockwise with ex-stock cars that used to run in the US. I've also seen a series on the oval track of old HQ Holdens and XF Falcons with small block V8's. Back when I had cable pay TV, used to get live NASCAR races (which normally started at 3am or so in the morning). Stick I nice throaty V8 in a shell and stick it on a track and us Aussies will watch it. ;) Cheers, Rod.

> Won't be the first time....and won't be the last.... now that was funny, hehe

I gotta totally agree with you there, Goy! Those AussieV8's are awesome....the races are awesome to watch...... and with their great drivers (on par with US road racing specialists....IMHO), all in all a great package of racing! Watching these guys at Bathurst.....or on the street courses.....with great in-car camera coverage....is just a real treat. The winters over here in the good old USA, are much more bearable...thanks to Speed Channel covering/showing all the V8 series races! I actually look forward to that each winter season. I only wish EA's sim would have a been better representation of the real series (I had it shipped over from a friend in Australia). Maybe some time, these guys who are hacking the EA F1-2002 sim will turn their attention to the V8 version and make us a great racing sim? Wish, wish, wish!

Hi Tom, knew you weren't as bad as your rep :-) Maybe some time those guys hacking away at some other sim will deliver us what we want, then we can play it online as well :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
