I don't know about anybody else -- but as a NASCAR fan, I'm stuck to the tv till the Daytona 500 is over. :D

Of course now since I'm not such a huge NASCAR fan anymore and don't really root for any one driver, I have to respect Gordon for his driving skills. The guy can definitely drive. |

And Austin's right... it's certainly not as easy as it seems... just driving a slow ass CAM car at Altamont at full tilt over the turn 4 transition onto the front straight is very unnerving. And I nearly wet myself when the back-end of the Legends car I drove at Shasta stepped out! That said, sports car and open wheel road course racing is far more entertaining to watch IMO. |
Yeah, I didn't actually think NASCAR style racing was hard until I tried racing the stock cars in TOCA 2... damn tough.

more ... they need about a 100 times more driving skills than I'll probably ever have. Besides the strength it must take to keep their hands on the steering wheel going in circles with an 800hp monster under them, they have to know when to gas, when to ride the brakes, when to bump-draft, when to try to slingshot around another car, they have to know what to do when the car gets a little wiggly or when they get bumped, and they have to know how to communicate what their car is doing while they're driving. They also have to know the protocol when they're out there, and if they get in trouble, they'd better do everything to keep it out of the way of everybody else.
Yeah, agreed that most of the time its more fun to watch some other types of motorsports. But, the last 10 (13!) laps or so of Daytona was some pretty great racing there at the end. |
yeah this is True DKNV but I just think maybe I dont really like it(Nascar) because I guess back in the day(70's) they were in fact actual CARS, whereas today .. its nothing but a LQQK-A-LIKE shell... Doesn't do anything for me ... sorry...
**Edit** And to think that the roof has to be only This high, the tail/spoiler only this many degrees etc... .. too picky for me maybe for it being a look-a-like shell .. lol |
lol on the die Gordon..I wish he would get the F1 ride thats been rumored in the works for him, after he did some open wheel testing..im not even much of a Nascar fan :D

Then everything will be right in the racing world. :lol: |
He won't be going to F1. He'd be giving up way to much money, and he'd have to break a lot of contracts which means he probably couldn't come back to Nascar. While I think he could be successful in F1, he wouldn't be Michael Schumaker, so we leave what he has?
Edit: Scott's reply was better. :lol: |
