We wingers like things done to completion and you obviously know, that NASCAR is filled with GOP conservative advocates thats mission is to attract fans from all walks of life who want to enjoy a hellacious afternoon of gas fumes and noise. If the power supply waveform isn't pretty,neither is the sound in most cases.

I used to be a fan but not much anymore. It's become too commercialized in my opinion with too many races. But too much as in too many teams is what has made most major sports decline as far as talent goes. It used to be the best of the best but now most major sports have turned into the best with a lot of mediocre talent thrown in. All because of television and the revenue it develops.

I'd like to see F1 come back to the US but it will be interesting to see what if any impact the new US F1 team has next year.

I hear ya..It doesn't seem like real racing anymore and the biggest joke is,the manufacturers championship. The truth is, the big four only supply engine blocks. The rest of the parts come places like TRW,Jerico,Edelbrock, Moog and others.
They have these cars so close that they just drive in circles without passing it seems..All passing is done on pit road LOL.

Actually,I kind of like the bump and run because it puts excitement into it and driver talent..If a guy can handle getting knocked out of the way and still win,thats talent.

I can't stand the restrictor plates and neither can the drivers. If all you want to see is wrecked cars go to a demolition derby.

If you saw the Grand Prix, the track/resort thing was stupendous and stupendously expensive to build.

I think I heard $1.6 BILLION to develop the site.
I wonder how much notice there is of NASCAR outside the USA.
The link is to the official Formula 1 site photographic review of the race.

I've read GB is losing their race unless they again race at Silverstone, which is a great circuit as well.
