markyj987 Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Re: Question chicks, I'm a NASCAR fan and can understand what you're saying to some degree. I can get bored watching a super speedway race where cars are single file everywhere, 5 seconds away from each other...and are only close after a caution. However, most races are not like that. Watch Bristol, Martinsville, or Richmond with someone who likes racing and you'll probably change your tune. It's also interesting to watch the pre- and post- race....or guys after a wreck. It's like a soap opera in a way...lol. Also, I personally find the rain delays interesting...they do some fun stuff on their broadcasts then.

Chrud Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Re: Question If you don't really understand NASCAR much, it'll be REAL difficult to explain why I get excited to watch cars go in circles. Actually, if you want real good fun, go to a dirt track...slow the speeds to about 125 MPH on the straights and send them off in the corners sideways and slidin'.

See the idea is to turn left at in the beginning of the circle. But you always got some idiot who will turn right instead of left and thats what make me watch it.

Guest BuckMaster058 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Re: Question Some of the races are boring but with restrictor plates and there's a 25 car pile up guy's breathing down each other's necks and a car flipping 5-6 times and the guy comes out unscathed it is cool to watch. But Nascar hasn't been the same since daytona 01 when Dale Sr. was killed in that accident. I miss seeing that black #3 how bout you all?

spyderpancake Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Re: Question It helps if you watch a little bit and learn about the drivers. It's a lot more interesting when you can put a face with the car. The best way to get hooked is to actually go to a race. To say racing is just a bunch of guys going in circles is like saying rodeo is a bunch of guys sitting on horses. NASCAR is the second most watched sport in the US, so obviously it has to be interesting once you get into it. P.S. Watch a little bit of the race at Richmond this friday or saturday night. It is a short track under the lights, and there will be a lot of action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
