[RACER X #99]

Writer,
Please go back and read my first post.
I did not dis the F1 Drivers or their equipment. Both are the best money can buy. It is the F1 organization that does not put on a good show. If your idea of a great race is watching the fastest qualifier distance himself from the rest of the field than you and I differ on what makes an exciting race. Side by side racing with lots of passing or an accasional bump to get by is exciting.

You obviously know nothing of Nascar racing. Yes it does take those restrictor plate cars(425 hp) to get up to speed on the big tracks but on the tracks where they run unrestricted 800 hp, they reach top speed at the end of the longest straight on the first lap. Yesterday at Michigan thay were hitting 204 mph.

I am not trying to convince anybody to like Nascar but if you have never been to a race (tv don't count) you are clueless.

I don't remember Nascar having issues with Radials other than Dale Earnhardt had a tough time getting used to them.
It is good to have a spec. tire in Racing almost every pro series has a spec. tire, prevents crybabies from parking their cars and going home.
