No I don't hate NHRA because those cars are just better haha. I was trippin the other night so that's why I was making obnoxious posts. Anyways yes I know all the motors aren't exactly the same but there are so many restritcions and things that you have to keep the same I don't see the point in it. Whoever said rally racing is good, +1 for you.

I liked nascar more when dale sr was out there. He made the sport exciting to watch. Now the rules are so strict there isnt alot of racing going on. Just driving down the interstate....

I do watch nascar from time to time. Compared to other forms of auto racing, I find nascar to be somewhat boring though, mainly because of all those circle tracks and the lask of real road cars. I really like watching those sports car races over in europe that they show on speed. Why cant nascar have/race cars that somewhat resemble the cars that are on the road? Like in that sports car series, they have the cadillac cts, pontiac g6, corvettes, that actually race the cars you see on the road (i know they are heavilly modded , of course) Whats with nascar and the phony fiberglass bodies, and the fact that every car looks exactly the same. I think it would be more exciting, for us monte carlo owners, to actually see our cars racing, and not some dumb fat looking plastic thing!

As dissappointed as I've been that they don't race actual muscle cars anymore, I'll still watch.
Eventually all the Europeon and South American drivers will migrate this way anyways.
Evidently there is not big bucks in F1 or or other Euro Sports Car events.

Old school NASCAR fan here. It used to be really good to watch the races, there was always someting exciting happening. Then, in the late 80's, they started coming up with new rules, like restrictor plates, (WTF?) and now with this point championship BS. What other form of racing SLOWS their cars down intentionally? This car of tomorrow thing sucks, too.
NASCAR started dying for me personally with the restrictor plates, then this points deal where a guy can win HALF of the races and not win the championship, 35 car fields, and selling out from "real" racers like Earnhardt Sr, Cale Yarborough, Richard Petty, and the Allison family, to corporate pretty boys. The Day the Racing Died for me, personally, was February 18, 2001.
If you wonder why I have 2 black Monte Carlo's, that date will explain much to you. It was the day Dale Earnhardt, Sr died at the Daytona 500.
