Can NASCAR Be Saved From Itself?

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

Your little azz wont gain any points on me this week.

No I won't because there's no race this week.

Consider this the week I don't gain points on you.

But, I will be picking Wildthing a lot more. He's making the rest of the competition his b!tch.

The track is still there. Use mapquest aerial view. Look just north of RFK stadium. You can see the racing surface. It was made with a special type of asphalt which incorporated rubber to make better traction. It is a slightly different color than the other pavement. I passed it every day while they were paving it. I used to work in DC. It's still raceable (sp?) but don't hold your breath for the next event.

There will never be racing in DC again.

It makes too much noise.

All of the barriers used for the race circuit in DC are now at Summit Point Shenandoah Circuit. Too bad that the DC GP didn't continue. It certainly was successful in it's first year.

Oh and Boris was there racing too

I have that race on video.

You can thank the Democrat led DC Government for that one.

Yeah right. NOT! It's DC! Anything can be had for a price. The promoters wouldn't pay enough extortion money to the locals. You gotta know how DC works. I worked there for 25 years. I'm familiar with thier tactics.

It's sad that NASCAR sold their heritage for a couple of bucks. I can only assume the they think their fans are just dumb rednecks who think it's still stock car racing

tsk tsk tsk...apsy apsy apsy.... YOU are the only one obsessed with the word "stock".

What's the fastest growing sport in the WORLD?? :hint: nascar

How many darwin candidates show up at a rally race? :hint: Not enough...

Psssttttt... 300,000 show up at the larger nascar tracks, every track sells out and over 30 MILLION watch nascar WORLDwide on any given Sunday.

How often is rally in the news?? :hint: never

Other than ole Petter (and I only heard of him here), rally is full of no names due to no one watches. :hint: Who??

You wanna talk stock??? How stock are your lil rally cars?? :hint: they aren't!!

:tonguethrulipsmakingrallysounds:

You were saying??? Rally who????

Show me the last race at Auto Club Speedway of Southern California to sell out.

Show me the last race at Atlanta Motor Speedway to sell out.

Show me the last race at Martinsville to sell out.

WTF do you think NASCAR stands for

I'm sure it's only a matter of time until rally racing is lawyered up and sanatized for your protection

Would rather see a driver walk away rather than die. JMO.

And, again, NASCAR was founded 60 years ago.

You truly are an ignorant red neck. If you really think that the WRC isn't in the news, well I suggest you look into it and read the international news. World Rally Car racing is raced and viewed around the world. The rest of the world outside of Canada and Mexico hasn't the slightest idea as to what NASCAR is, or if they have seen it, they laugh at it.

Performance wise, the COT is pathetic when compared to other international race series cars such as F1, A1GP, Lemans Prototypes and GT, etc.

WRC cars are strongly based on "stock" cars, utilizing the frame/chassis and engine of showroom cars, with modifications.

NASCAR doesn't even begin to share a thing with a "stock" showroom car.

It's ok. I'd be embarrassed too if I were harassed by a lowly, ignorant redneck.

Hold er boys, we're taking this corner at 50mph!!! :vroomvroom:

 

[Michael Delaney]

Wow! Great comeback. Embarrassed? Certainly not. You really got me

At least you admit to being a lowly, ignorant redneck.

Have no idea as to what you driver safety comment is about.
I was refering to fan access to the race route


NASCAR was founded to race the cars that the American manufacturers put in the show room.
the theory was Race on Sunday, sell on Monday

F1 sucks. :shrug: I love road course racing, but F1 is boring as hell.

When no one watches your sport because it sucks, you have no case and you've been ridiculed, call names. Gets em every time.

How many people show up at a rally race? 150? 200?

Hell, I'll give you 1,500? 2,000? Nascar need at least that just in staff for one race.

:vroom,vroom:

 

[Michael Delaney]

Show me proof of how many people watch on TV or attend a race such as Lemans, Nurburgring 24h or a WRC race, as compared to a NASCAR race? I doubt that you can show me proof?
Like I said, you are ignorant.You only know NASCAR.

Mid-Ohio, now that was a sucky race.

Today's race confirmed that Open Wheel Racing sucks on Ovals and Road Courses.

I'd take Rally car racing over open wheel racing anyday.

Andy you are such a miserable, negative, depressing human being! Everthing sucks in your eyes, everything is a complaint. You whine and cry about anything and everything. Take some time to grow up and you might find it easier to get a chick or even make a friend. Good luck buddy and try and take some advice! Thank you and goodnight!

Hey nhboy

Get your ass back in here and try some of our Kool-aid. It's called "Truthiness."
