You got me on the half and quarter oval but in all truth NASCAR is backwards when compared to F1. F1 is the king of car racing, it's the ultimate, NASCAR doesn't compare in technology, speed, etc.

To each his own. NASCAR is a different kind of racing than F1, and attracts different kinds of fans. Is it possible they might be able to have an uninterrupted discussion about it?

It's simply a different type of racing that requires a different skill set. F1 has by far the most technology, and as an engineer I love to see it, but I really do get tired of seeing that parade of qualifying laps that are passed on as races in F1 now. To what extent driver aides should be done away with I'm not certain, but I think that there is too much in today's F1 car, making comparisons difficult, and competition all about money.

NASCAR is the other end of the spectrum. Competition amongst makers is artificially enforced, and easier to do with yesterday's technology. A case can be made that it's a better show - which it is, to someone who wants to see close racin' and controverisal finishes. It's not a good show to someone who wants to see tomorrow's technology and hear what 19000 rpm sounds like.

To each his own. I can appreciate both. But what I really LOVE to see is NASCAR on road courses. It's a blast to watch.
