Dang! You're all over the map. When you can put F1 and the 1/4 mile in the same category I'm not too sure how to take that. Sounds like your just looking to stir things up.

I strongly disagree on F1. NASCAR pits man against man, in the form of driver vs driver, and pit crew vs pit crew. Any driver can win on any given Sunday. F1 is primarily engineer vs engineer, euroweenie vs euroweenie. It's tracks prevent effective racing, and the driver is secondary to the car. While this may be interesting to some, it pales beside the drama that is 43 men battling on a half-mile oval.

F1 isn't racing. I don't know what the heck it is but I wouldn't get in one of those plastic kit cars if you paid me. Bonneville? How many rocket cars are there out there in the real world? Pomona? A bit closer but the big boys practically running jets on them are the only ones halfway worth watching and it's over in the blink of an eye
Besides that, NASCAR does last a bit longer and actually takes more strategy than any of the ones you listed. NASCAR makes this mistake and brings in a rice burner, I will won't be watching anymore. God help the poor fool they con into driving this piece of junk the first year
