All watching all sports on tv bores the shit outta me. Even football...

Yeah, I've pretty much reached that point too. I look a good boxing match or basketball game sometimes. I use to play a lot of sports, but the only ones I'll play now are basketball and racquetball. Darts, and shit like that don't count as sports. That's for fat, lazy guys who drink a lot of beer.

the Food City 500? tell me you're joking.
i could NEVER understand how people enjoy nascrap. i once heard that "it's the motorsport for the average guy, not like Indy car racing where everyone wears fancy clothing and sips at fine wine. NASCAR is for the average guy who likes to wear jeans and t-shirts and drink beer."
if that's the case, then the "average guy" must be the most easily entertained person in the world. how can you watch 30 guys drive around in a circle for 500 miles and be entertained?! 500 miles of driving in a CIRCLE! and it doesn't take skill either. you turn left, you feather the gas pedal a little bit in the turn. someone attempts to pass someone else every 25 laps and someone actually completes a pass every 100 laps. WOW.
the only way watching nascrap could be entertaining is if every 5-10 laps there was a crash. other than that, you couldn't put enough cheap beer into me to get me to enjoy it.

crak, not only that, but the engines are so seriously restricted. I couldn't even imagine building a serious engine with a flat tapet camshaft.

maybe seriously restricted considering what they used to be able to do to them. what do they put to the ground? 400hp and about that much torque?

I think only certain tracks have restrictor plates. The worry is that if they go to fast, they might fly over the barriers and land in the grandstand. I know Talladaga is one of them, same with Daytona. The truck series is kinda entertaining...

No they are over 600 horsepower. That sounds like alot for a small block, but when you look at the heads they have it isn't. I've gotten 603 (dynoed) out of a 355, with one carb, no nitrous, and a pair of iron dart II sportsmans for around $4500. I used to street race when I was in high school.

No bro, the entire engine is restricted. Yes they have restrictor plates that go under the carberators at some tracks, but the internal components of the engines are severly restricted. They are in all professional motor sports, but NASCAR more so than most.

well, i do believe they need to put some restrictions on the engines in racing, but that's to give a fair advantage to the driver. well, ok, not in nascrap, cause you're only going in a circle. so let's think about REAL racing, where they do more than left hand turns for 500 miles. with engines being restricted to a point, it then narrows the race down to the driver's/rider's skill, suspension, tuning of the engine, and braking system. that evens it out quite a bit, IMO.
i watch motorcycle racing, and i know the engines are hopped up a LOT from stock. when you make the restrictions to even the playing feild, you can see who is the better racer. but turning left for 500 miles and nothing else...no skill involved.
