I really dislike Nascar b/c I don't see whats so good about it. All these drivers have to do is smash the gas pedal and turn the steering wheel slightly to the left and try to pass people while going in circles (kinda like go karts). I'm not dissing on you Nascar fans or anything, but why do people like is so much? B/c they're going 200+ mph?

Any WRC Rally fans here?

its not as easy as you think. do u know how much skill it takes be inches away from the way on ur exit point to get max speed.

willow springs, turn 9, 100mph is hard thing to do on my slow civic cause i have be inches away from the apex berm and exit berm to get max speed

nothing is as easy as you think in racing.

plus, why are you knocking go kart racing. have you tried real go kart racing like i have. i have go karted with spec miata, honda challenge, autoXer, and pro formula D drifters. its where we all learn our craftmanship cause everything happens so fast and you need to react to it quickly. where do u think all formula 1 drivers started from

no form of racing is easy. road racing, autoXing, drifting, karting, rallying

USAFSTUD: I totally understand what you're saying man, of course anything takes skill. But I just believe that some forms of driving require more skill than others and Nascar isn't one of them. Take a Rally car driver for example. I'm sure that rally racer could hop into a Nascar and operate the vehicle just fine. But if you threw some Nascar drivers into a rally car, or F1 car, or anything with turns, do you think they'd perform as well as rally drivers in Nascars? And in no way was I knocking on go kart racing, I was making a comparison to Nascar. No I haven't been in a real go kart because I didn't want to pay $10 for a 5 minute race at Mazda Rev-It Up (I preferred test driving the RX-8 and Mazdaspeed Miata all day ) But anyway, I know you have more experience than I do since you've done all this autocross and you've been to all of these tracks n stuff so I'm not trying to say that I know more than you, but I agree with Nutted. I don't think Nascar requires so much skill because its "straightaway, turn, straightaway, turn."

Have a nice day.

Nascar is boring IMO...I give them all credit for the sport because it takes a lot of skill and training to be up to that level, but just watching it bores me. haha.

NASCAR racing is a big turn off because the cars have no resemblance to the factory cars. They take fwd drive 6 cyl cars and convert them to tube frame, RWD, carburated engines circling a track. When they road race it is pretty cool, but then again some teams use ringers for these events .

NASCAR sucks....it's old-*** technology, going in a circle is boring too...plus you can't understand them. Jeff Foxworthy is right: Jeff Gordon is disliked not because he wins, but because he enunciates.

I can mistune my suspension and put stickers everywhere...make my car pull left, I've got a NASCAR

Nascar is cool, when they go to the pits and they do that work under a minute! I Live 1 mile east of the Speedway they shut down all the streets to get to Ontario Mills including: Valley, 4th street, 15 freeway at 4th street! Dumb *** Fontana and Ontario PD!
