      Not a big Nascar fan myself, but I've heard many F1 and GT drivers hopping behind the wheel of a Nascar and running a few laps being left speechless by the experience. It doesn't have the technical turns and brake points etc... But it is an extremely difficult Motorsport. Stop acting like driving 200 mph for 4 hours, inches from 30 other people isn't difficult. It's just not your flavor. No need to bash it like some elitist prick.

    • @05gtdriver

      What most European snobs seem to forget is that everything that has entertainment value in the United States must appeal to the masses, not just the rich(as in Europe), so consequently, the racing(among other sports activities) is in front of the viewer, hence the circle style of racing so prevalent here. If you can't see it, why should you spend your hard earned cash on it? Road course and F1 circuit racing is a better indicator of true automobile racing, I agree, but to see a race car pass by you once every 1 to 8 minutes doesn't keep the people interested as much.

    During the 70's and 80's, there were two places you could go and spend $10 and have a great night. Irwindale figure 8 races or the Olympic in LA for boxing. Five bucks got you in the door. Five bucks got you a huge plate of cheesy nachos and a big glass of Brew 102. Good times.

    I love Figure 8 racing. Been on a pit crew for one team I'm Lima Ohio and we knocked the lights out at the track in practice one night ending the racing for the night. And then I was a newspaper photographer and shot the 3 Hour World Figure 8 Championship at the Speedrome in Indianapolis. Talk about fun times!!!

    We used to go to the races at Riverhead Raceway on Long Island, and they'd have 8 or 9 different classes of races. The main feature would be the NASCAR modifieds, then they'd finish the evening with a Figure 8 race. Best I ever saw ended with about five cars piled on top of each other at the cross over. It looked like something you'd see on Speed Racer. They figured it weould take so long to clean up the track, they called the race there and declared the winner, and we fans all went home.

      You have to think that their car is shit.. There's no possible explanation for being that slow other than the car being slow because if they're really driving like that and trying to "race" they have no business out there. Even if it was a slow car, still no business but at least that'd be an excuse for the driver.

      @KeoniPhoenix 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Believe it or not they actually do consider this in traffic engineering. Signage and signalling can only go so far so in some places where the speed limit isn't excessive, they will just remove lane markings and that can have a huge impact on reducing accidents as people are forced to be more aware of the road and their surroundings because they aren't relying on a false sense of security from traffic control devices. Where I grew up it was standard policy to not post stop signs at an intersection in slow neighborhoods because they were discovered to rarely be needed and if there was a need to stop, state law had already had rules on how to proceed through them.

    Man, I love local short track racing. When I was still with my ex, her dad and I would go to Bronson Speedway outside of Gainesville, FL and set up the chairs on the top of the stands. Bombers (beat up racers with four and eight cylinder classes), modifieds, figure eights, SCHOOL BUS figure eights, even Outlaw Sprint cars on occasion. Honestly, that was better racing and a better show than both Daytona 500's I saw put together (1992 & 2010). Those were some good times.
