As a conservative, academic with eligibility for the same number of letters after my name as in my name, southerner, fried chicken -eating bubba, I would like to say this to those who hate NASCAR, (my dad ran a still with his dad and modified cars) it will change but never go away. Those boys will race whatever, whenever. As far as waste sure, but remember this is the crucible that the internal combustion engine reached what efficiency is has. This is applied science.

Uhhh.... how 'bout making them race horses....


Go Big Brown!

F1 all the way

0mph-100mph-0mph < 5 sec
5g on turns
could drive upside down due to downforce > 80 mph
2.4L naturally aspirated engine 800hp
weight 605kg with a driver
20,000 rpm limited

I don't really care about a few gallons, if I want to get pissed about wasting gas at someone then it would be goverment planning for building more and more highways instead of investing in trains and light rails

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he real pinch, though, comes in jet fuel. Many team owners shuttling crew members, and drivers flying private planes on weekends, are considering cutting down on the luxuries.

Dale Jr. had an interview in some sports magazine that i was reading. I caught the part about him saying he was going to race for the next 20 years or something insane like that.

There was a really funny onion article about rookies in Nascar. It said they didn't know how to push the gas all the way down.




One other thing...they should race naked.

NASCAR Coach Reveals Winning Strategy: 'Drive Fast'

[catbox]

I did read an article a few weeks back about how the fans are the real victims here. People complaining about how much it costs to fuel up the RV, pay to get in, eat that shitty food, get back home, etc.....That just doesn't register with me.

I say let the whole NASCAR thing go on. It should implode like everything else.

On a related note:

I was out moving soil from our driveway into the new beds out back and my neighbor stopped me and started going on about his RV. Said it takes 110 bucks to fill his RV..said he was happy about getting 8 miles per gallon. Then he said he just put 1000.00 bucks into getting the monster ready to go someplace for a week. He's towing a boat to boot.
And this is a guy who is 82 and had to take a part time job as a greeter at the box hardware place to pay for meds the VA cut. He's also got 4 cars.

Peak racing, peak motels, peak convenience stores, peak gas stations, peak restaurants. All will fall like dominos...

[syrac818]

LOL....


Good. That sport farking sucks. Total, total mullet fest. You see record NBA attendance, and we all know people will walk 80 miles to go to an NFL game.

But Nascar? Good. What a crappy, crappy waste of oil. It should have never been a sport in the first place. Nascar is to oil what golfing is to water - both insane wastes of resources.

Yes. i agree. I always thought NASCAR was a joke. And I'm so glad that golf was mentioned. I've been hearing all this stuff about Tiger Woods and I just keep thinking...water waste. Those greens drink enough water, don't they?

[canis_lupus]

F1 is looking at ways to develop cars where the technology would be transferable to road cars - smaller, fuel efficient turbos, ethanol, tire compounds, etc., all with consumers in mind.

Cool stuff.

[Andy]

I agree completely. NASCAR is a complete joke. I also do not regard the drivers as highly skillful in comparison to F1 or open country Rally Car drivers. Absolute Joke!!!

[frankthetank]

Its hard making a continuous left turn. Pushing that gas down isn't easy either. When I look to the heavens I can still see that little number 3 going around the track.

[Homesteader]

Sooner and quicker the better, along with the rest of professional sports.

[biofuel13]

I refuse to believe that anyone who is on this site and is seriously concerned about PO can truly be a Nascar fan as well. It's the equivalent of a rat who's a fan of rat poison.
