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

Anybody who equates Bonneville with "rocket cars" is ignorant of car culture and racing history. To real hotrodders, the Pure Highest Holy Place of all auto racing ain't Indianapolis, and it ain't Daytona, it is a desolate dry salt lakebed located 30 miles east of Wendover, Nevada.

More strategy? F1 takes more from the driver, pulling more G's at much higher speeds. The times on the road track when NASCAR is running at the Glen are so much slower than the times from CART and CART is so much slower than F1.
