You forgot SCCA! :P

In all honesty, I can't watch NASCAR. I get bored to tears.

Drag racing is for people with short attention spans. And please dont go crazy over this statement...its my personal opinion. I just dont see the point when the engines must be torn down after every 1/4 mile pass and rebuilt.

The shit im into: Anything road racing...im goin to Lime Rock Park in CT memorial day weekend. All roadracing all wkend. And a car show on sunday. I went last year and it was fun as hell.
I like all motorcycle sports too...except motorcycle drag racing :bigwink:

None of the above. You guys should watch some old Trans Am racing if you get the chance. Those were some of the most hard fought, intense races in history. Awesome to watch, nothing like seeing Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers duking it out on a road course. Everything else sucks after watching Trans-am :) . It's starting to come back for nostalgia purposes, even with some of the original drivers. I do watch NASCAR every once in a while, but really NASCAR lost it's appeal after strict regulation, now all the cars are so close to one another that it boils down to pit stops and cautions, and restrictor plates suck ass. It's run by a bunch of nancys, I'd like to see another Smokey Yunick in NASCAR today and see what they'd do to him.

Trans Am was an awesome series. Esp. when they had the 4 cylinder class w/ all the old Euro cars running...Vintage Racing is the $h!t
