    But you are comparing a big car with limited aero and power steering to a small car with massive aero and variable mechanical steering. I don't see what you are getting at honestly. Regardless if there is a wall there or not, the best drivers will use all of the available space; the lesser ones won't.

    Comparing karts and cars is also a stretch. Just like NASCAR and Indycar, there are massive differences in technique and equipment. There is a long list of monsters in karts that are totally ordinary in cars and vice versa.
     
  2. Huh? :confused: Okay.... :(

    I musta, driven in some parallel world.... :rolleyes:

    I don't know about all those words...just what I felt.... ;)
     
  3. It's not just NASCAR, it's everywhere these days; at least here in the short attention spanned US of A.

    And I think you exaggerate...it's more like three seconds... :D

    Perhaps a little good news.

    Atlanta might not do the repave.+

    I know I'm late to comment on this, but seems the "relate to the driver by a sticker across their windshield" was very short lived.

    You can save time by not watching any of the post-race stuff either. This is the typical NASCRASH post-race interview in a nutshell(i.e., you've seen one, you've seen them all).

    Classic!

    Every NASCAR cliche in the book on display right there y'all.

    Love how the amount of sponsor's junk food (and cigarettes) keeps growing on
    the car's roof.

    The pre and post-race stuff on the various networks is unwatchable. A couple of years
    ago I was visiting some friends who were into the whole NASCAR thing. The minute the
    pre-race stuff came on, they'd be mesmerized (don't dare interrupt while Michael Waltrip
    is talking) and they'd get all amped up for the race.

    The race finally started after the two hour pre-race hype show (to the point where my
    head was about to explode). The green flag dropped and they're all hooping it up. Twenty
    laps into the thing, I look around the room and they're all sound asleep.

    It isn't the racing they're into, it's the hype. And, as we well know, there isn't a sport on
    the planet that can live up to that kind of hype. It's like a sugar high. One minute you're
    all amped up and things are great and then the crash happens.

    And, notice, how at the end of each race, the last car hasn't crossed the finish line yet and
    they start right in on hyping the next race, "It's going to be the biggest race of the year!".
    Oh brother, I've got news for you, every race is the "biggest race of the year" and it starts
    all over again.

    Well, ain't Vegas lucky?

    Guaranteed, one or the other (or both) NASCAR and Barrett-Jackson would have an
    objection to having the another event running at the same time in the same place.

    LOL! What a weak punch. If you're going to hit somebody, hit them.

    At least he didn't keep his helmet on...hahaha.

    What about the crewman trying to stomp Kyle...hahahaha.

    What an embarrassment.

    the crew guy trying to curb stomp Kyle was the highlight of that scuffle.

    ...or the NASCAR official manhandling Kyle like a child. Hahahaha.

    These guys need to learn to fight. I don't want kids growing up thinking that's how you punch someone.

    Looked more like foreplay than an assault.

    Haha - my 5 year old daughter knows how to throw a better punch already. Kids need to be well rounded regardless of financial situation. ; )

    I don't know who won either. St Pete was awesome this weekend on the open wheel side. Really enjoyed just about all the races.

    INDYCAR race was a bit disappointing (I don't like fuel mileage/strategy races) but the MRTI ladder races were all pretty good, as were the two PWC races. need to figure out how to get NASCAR fans to tune into that stuff...

    speaking of which...
