Way more exciting!

Have You ever been to a Race?

I must confess that I have not. I watch exactly two auto races a year: Daytona and Indianapolis.

I'm sorry that you feel this makes me a terrible person, but all I know is it worked out a lot better back when CBS had the race in the 70s.

I never said/thought or posted that.

Just putting in My $0.02 worth on reasons why they do what they did/do.

Join Us for Phoenix next W.E. and learn about things like Rattlesnake Hill!

Same FR Bat Channel every Race week.

Chode runs the F1 Threads here.

Don't remember ever seeing an NHRA Thread but that stuff happens in 4 seconds so by the time a Post would be completed we would be 2 Runs behind...

There is usually an Indy 500 Thread IIRC.

And try going to a Live Race some time- It puts a whole new perspective on it. 34,400 HP blasting past 30 feet away in 4-5 seconds is quite "enlightening" plus you get the fuel and tyre smells.

Unfortunately, my traveling days are behind me.

i don't believe he insinuated anything about you at all, simply tried to explain why it is virtually impossible for 99% of those that actually attend the race to be able to just stick around the next day and the money involved in advertizing let alone all those that would howl bloody murder if a race preempted their monday morning viewing pleasure

on top of that the teams HAVE to get home or to the next race as soon as possible to be able to get the cars cleaned up/repaired in time for next weeks race

it does happen, but it is ungodly expensive on multiple levels and is avoided like the plague

Yes Sir.

Geez He signed up for that Twitter stuff so I figured I'd do it also- after I found out that that gaga or madonna or one of them strange ones has 2Mil followers I figured I help boost Jr's count it was 417K when I joined. It's now 453K and He hasn't even been there 24 hours yet.

I see breaking the record by the end of the week easy.

Sorry to hear that.

Another good reason to ride the FR NASCAR Tour Bus.

Never leave home and still get the good stuff.
