I’m a sports fan, but I can’t watch racing.

It’s slower than SH!T.

I tuned in to watch Trump and then thought I would catch the start of the race...

and then I waited and I waited and I waited. DAMN.

It takes a fricking hour just to get the damn thing started. FORGET IT.

By luck, I turned to it yesterday just in time to catch the finish. Such a close race, but Fox showed exactly ONE replay of the finish. ONE. WHAT IN THE HELL?!

I was screaming at the TV. Can you kindly show us the slow mo finish of the race. Yes, there was a horrible accident, but does that mean they don’t show us various shots of the 2 cars that raced across the finish line?

The entire experience was aggravating as hell. I simply don’t know how race fans stand it.

I got better things to do than turn into an old lady while trying to watch a damn race.

“Car of Tomorrow”. Restrictor plates. “Green gas”. Messing with the tires. Kowtowing to special interest groups starting with dropping the Winston Cup out of cowardice.

I love racing. 1/4 mile, sprints, dirt, NASCAR... heck... even the World Wrestling League of motor sports... Monster Trucks.

Anything where a human on a machine goes out and pushes the limits of physical endurance and technology.

NASCAR and Busch/Xfinity are shite. More about pretty logos, buzz words, and petulant owners/drivers. They’ve dumbed it down, focus grouped it, and made it “safe” for mass consumption.

Boring...

I had almost the same experience. Kept checking in and it was always in caution, a comercial or blathering commentators. I’ll check it again in another 20 years.
