National NASCAR takes a turn

[No_Regerts]

NASCAR shows that when you remove bad drivers from the road, heavy traffic can move at 90 mph very few accidents.

Or 200mph on a big track.

BTW, anyone who thinks racing isn't athletic or physically demanding is ignorant.

^ Truth. I may have never really given a rip about NASCAR, and circa Q3 2019, racing is no longer on my personal radar, though it was years ago. But anyone who thinks racing isn't physically demanding is grossly misinformed.

Their fan base is drying up.

Though to be sure, I couldn't possibly care less about nascar and (to me) how it could possibly be appealing.

I rank it below watching golf and curling.

I never understood it...

I LOVE curling.....

Yup!


I had to self moderate a few times!

Haha. I think, my friend, we are most sympathetic, on this point. Well wishes, amigo.

This may very well be but the driver and his or her physical athleticism is hidden in the front seat and all we see are cars going round and round - kind of like watching the 'spinning wheel of death' while a website is loading.
Needless to say I have never been a fan or even moderately interested.

I am not into the sport but I do think that this is a stupid decision.

Haha, some excellent points.

Besides, who still watches this stuff?
All the cars are the same, they are governed, limited, set downforce, set frames, set tires.. only variable is the driver.

Not much variable there either...even the drivers are governed.

 

[BPOR11]

NASCAR?
Isn't that some kind of a women's knitting club?

It is in this household. My wife is the only one who watches it..and yes, she is from the south. Poor girl

 

[Stomper]

Next thing you know NASCAR will be bashing the US Flag, and advocating a generalized hatred for the cops....

When they started using a restrictor plate ( tapered spacer ) to slow the "Race Cars" down on ALL the tracks,I kinda lost interest. With sponsorship declining dramatically I would think they would welcome anything they can get.

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

Or 200mph on a big track.

used to be faster before they restricted'm

Boring on the ovals.
You can actually see driver skill when they hit road courses (left AND rights).

As if I needed another reason to NOT watch a bunch of yokels drive in a giant circle for 8 hours...

 

[rcksha]

NASCAR has always been a good pastime for many, both participant and fans. I have watched closely the last couple years only to find the stands getting less and less populated. Too many over controlling rules, cars all look the same, etc. Involving the organization in politics is not smart when you're fanbase is so devoted to our rights. You have swallowed the koolaid about weapons of war instead of learning the facts. It's going to cost you big time.

 

[11Charlie]

looks like its not just the cars taking left turns

You owe me a cup of coffee!!

 

[Caveman Jim]

This makes me think about doing something I SWORE I would never do, buy a Military Styled Semi Auto in a caliber less than .30.

Every red blooded American should have 1 or a dozen!!! Well anything else is uncivilized.

 

[titsonritz]

looks like its not just the cars taking left turns

You beat me to it...

 

[Caveman Jim]

All commercialized sports have bent the knee and showed their true spineless virtue signaling selves. Bowing down to political influence and making public statements. Its all a waste of time and money anyhow.

It's all about one side influencing every entity politically and the blue haired masses follow suit to boycott the evil gun loving industry.

Civil war in the South 3...2...1...

 

[CRBMoA]

I am pretty sure most Brunkles and GrandBrothers like guns. Bad move.
