[QUOTE=Black_notch;4504395]
And what motorsport is more exciting?
Drag racing is Boring as fuck if I'm not driving. No beatin' or banging, just lining up and going in a straght line. whoopy!

Thats an easy one. The most exciting motorsport i've seen that is big is rally. It would sure as hell take more then a paper clip to wreck one of those guys and they drive in some of the intense conditions on the planet.

Is nascar willing to race on: dirt,snow,grass,mud,water,gravel or sand?

Brett is right about them trying to expand the fan base so it isn't just country people watching. I don't think it has been a redneck sport in at least a decade. Alot of people I know enjoy nascar but i'm not one of them. After watching them go around in the circle for abut the 40th time i'm ready to go do something. Now the road course with those guys car be entertaining for sure.

In closing UFC owns nascar any day.

wouldn't racing in the rain cool the drivers off? they could put a duck into the gys helmet, so he could get water and cool off... put a bigger gas tank with that combo and you have a faster race with less pit stops.... works for me.

Oooooh! Well that makes more sense. I dunno about NASCAR helmets, but all the helmets I've seen usually have cooling ducts built into them and are still DOT/Snell certified. I know mine does.

they modded a few helmets to accept chicken fries, seen it on the tv....



to me a duck in the helmet would make it better, nascar is by far the most renkeck audience based and boring motorsport to watch. i seriously have more fun watching dirt buggys climb hills then to watch nascar. they should race in the rain.... they shold race with regular tires in the rain, the crashes are about the only fun thing to watch.......
