If NECKCAR could just get out of the stoneage with thier engines and fuel systems they would probably get more people to watch and like it.
Funny, they get a 2% a year increase in power every year across a restrictor plate. You see pushrods and carbs but some of those guys know more than the F1 dudes ever will about getting the job done. I miss the heydays of the 70s and early 80s where it was about cheating and not getting caught, those motherfuckers were creative.
F1, on the contrary, knows how built a block out of tissue paper that weigh four pounds and will fall apart exactly 100 feet after the finish line. That's pretty exacting but it also throws money around like water. Kinda doesn't sit right with me. There are some local guys with Winston Cup engines dropped in old Vettes and Cobra replicas tearing up the hillclimbs, they last for years after being decommissioned and sold to the general public at very affordable prices.
When I watch NECKCAR and see fans all I see is a bounch of brand chasing sheep.
Funny, that's what I see with F1's high end douchbaggery. The euro mentality is retarded, most of the car guys over there would NEVER EVER do it themselves, they jock brand names and use someone else's "excellence" as a reason why they shouldn't bother to try. It's like talking to late middle aged kotex members with two corncobs shoved up their asses, and a foreign lisp.
i agree with alot of what JD said here... alot of nascar drivers do know their way around a car, but with the new generation coming about, with douchebags like kyle busch and jimmy johnson, that remind me alot of the F1 drivers. I havnt spent alot of time watching F1, but what i have seen are exactly what is described above...
i have always loved dirt, from rally to motocross, i have always preferred dirt. i spent alot of time growing up around dirt cars, spend a few years on and off fabbing dirt cars, mostly limited late models, e-mods, and late models. spent a few hot laps behind the wheel of one but never had the cash to have my own. absolutely the most badass thing in the world to pin the throttle of a 800+ hp 2300lb car, the feeling is like no other. i can only imagine what a sprint car feels like..
the thing i respect most with dirt is the drivers have to know the cars and almost all of them work on their cars, unlike alot of other forms of racing. those guys are generally running 3 races a week, and it is your life. you work during the day, and prepping the racecar is what you do at night.
to me dirt>asphalt.. there was a phrase that always used to go around the pits, dirt is for racing, asphalt is to get you there.
