God I hate Nascar.

Here's one of my favorite pages on the subject...

<a href="http://www.noright.com/contrast.html" target="_blank">http://www.noright.com/contrast.html</a>

It goes over the technicial differences between the antiquated American racing technolgy verses F1. Pretty funny.

Be careful on the main page! It is not work friendly and frankly it's kind of gross. But there are other things to check out that will give you a chuckle. But the link above is ok.

I kind of like the way NASCAR fans post their IQ's on their rear windows.

Speed Channel, mostly NASCAR most of the time.

Hopefully as the interestinf racing season starts, the NASCAR overload will diminish a bit.

i'm amazed to find that other people dislike nascar as much as i do. here in oklahomer you'd think nascar was the only way to race a car, or even a pickup.

god, i hate nascar. why did america degrade itself so much to accept such a lowly sport full of low-budget, low-tech, low-brain farmboys that call themselves "race carr drihvers"

<img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" />
Here is my anti-reneck nascar poem I posted on another site.
Here it goes:
I hate nascar, Im not impressed.
Because the drivers only make lefts.
It makes me cry when I see,
how pathetic you all can be.
Its not a sport you all should see,
except where the goats and mullets roam free.
Arent there more important things in your life,
than rednecks making lefts not rights?

Long live pull tab beercans and skoal long cut.Oh yea...and 72 camaros on the front lawn. Yee haw.

True'nuff - I guess I wasn't looking at the tech aspect... just all the salaries and what the cost of keeping a team running.

Still'though, the do wind tunnel test those puppies.

I still hold true to the thought that the most pathetic car on the road is one of those give-away sticker cars... you know the ones?

Here's something...

I mean look at this thing. This is a factory option from Chevy. However it doesn't come with working A/C...but it does come with a built in Coleman cooler in the trunk.
