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.
