Race fans?

Just wondering... I hardly ever see any post about racing on the
sports forum. For example, the Nextel All-Star race was this past Saturday night; over a million dollars went to the winner. And this coming Sunday is the Coca-Cola 600. Anybody coming to Charlotte for that?:+ :+

I dont follow racing as much as I used to. Been to many Nextel races in Indy and the Indy 500. Will watch the Indy 500 this weekend with my family.

I watch all the races I'm around for, but I don't like the new car this year. Kinda took it in more of a road racing direction. I'm sure it works for them, but just doesn't look right.

I watch or listen to as many as I can. I kept up with alot more last year on XM but now Sirius has it.

The COT is ok but my feeling is the cars bodies should be exact replicas of the production car. If a manufacturer doesn't build an aerodynamic car that teams want to race then tough. When Plymouth came out with the Superbird, Ford responded with the Talledega. Thats how it should be in my opinion.

I'm going to wait for Jr's press conference at 11. He's going to announce his plans today. Speculation on the news last night was it was Hendrick with Kyle B. being released.

i liked back in the day nascar. then came wild bill and i liked that but todays cult of driver more important than the car bad boy wreck you first mentality is not what bill jr would allow. just read a time mag with a story about him in back. i cannot imagine him letting todays brats get away with their stuff.

the cot is just bad. (where can i buy a ford or toyota with a 360 engine like that one that won today?) yellow flags to keep the pack together is bad. restrictor plate racing is bad. fans threatening bill simpson is just stupid.

i have been following sports car racing for year. this weekend is the 24 hrs of le mans and is accessible thru radio leman at the american lemans series .com site. race starts at 9 am central time tomorrow. i think the american races of the series are aalso on xm.
