Daytona 500

Kikinchikin · 2004-02-16, 06:39 PM

I just got back from Daytona. Wasn't a very good race IMO, since I'm not a Dale Jr. fan. But the early parts were exciting. Anyone else go to the 500?

No.

No, didn't even make an attemp to watch it. I find going around in a circle like that boring, except when there are big crashes

THrONeBeaST · 2004-02-16, 07:12 PM

was a good race

I caught a few minutes of it here and there during the race (didn't go).

NASCAR is only interesting if someone wrecks.

I don't care who wins any sport ever.

Pizza never even came, imo. Had to go to PFC.

Die 500, die.

I almost had to run over a bunch of race fans in order to get back to my apartment.

Stupid retards - when you see a car turning off a main road, STOP WALKING ACROSS THE DAMNED STREET AND LET THEM THROUGH.

Roundy-round racing sucks and is skillless. Any idiot can drive a "stock car" (with new engine, chassis, stripped interior, rollcage, bigger tires) in a circle for a few hours. To make things interesting, your car breaks down after a while.

Formula 1 owns all, but nobody watches it.

martyr, Blizzard, and Triggar are pissed because they live in Daytona. Poor them. Point and laugh! HAHAHA!

*points and laughs*

Um, excuse me? It is very skillful, and very fun if you are in the race. If you are watching it, most people including myself find it boring. But it does take skill.

Alot of people watch Formula 1. And Formula 1 is actually less about skill, as it is more about the car. At least in Nascar, most cars are equal. In Formula 1, it's Ferrari or a piece of shit.

In a way, that pretty much sums up F1... and that's coming from someone that used to watch it religiously on Speed every week.

imho, WRC is one of the few car racing styles that requires excessive amounts of skill, persistance, and mechanical reliability. Just watch some of it and you'll understand.
