"Awesome Bill from dawsonville" did it again in 1989 actually it wasn't offical but at talledega he set a new record at 224mph.
But anyway favorite tracks Sears point (They don't race there anymore) and Watgin's glen (I know the spelling is off but I don't remember how to spell it.) and Talledega Favorite drivers: Mark Martin, (Yes the viagra guy) Bill Elliot (to bad he races a dodge now) Allen Kuiwicke (To bad he is dead) Davey allison (another dead guy) and the only young guy I like is Matt Kenseth.

Actually they still race at Sears Point, but it's now called Infineon. I'm almost 100% sure. And you know bill's retiring this year right?

He is in semi-retirement nah Sears point was made into an industrial park/ development/ I wanna kill the guy that owns the contract company.

I like daytona, I dont know where i said i didnt... the reason why they dont take restrictor plates off is bcause the cars aren't blocky anymore, and the engines are 750hp, just imagine what elliot sadler flip at talledeg would have been like without restrictor plates

Watkins Glen.

Even I know that and I'm English (We dont have NASCAR over here)

Yeah, that and you folks on the other side of the big pond drive the wrong direction too.

I'm an avid NASCAR fan. The only races I've seen in person have been in Vegas.
Fave drivers: Little E, Matt Kenseth (home state dude), Tony Stewert, and hell.. a few more...

Remember Dick Trickle? He's from my hometown in Wisconsin. I used to deliver pizzas to his shop before he moved down South.

No, we don't drive the wrong direction, otherwise, the nations populous would all be concentrated in one place. We apparently drive on the wrong side of the road, according to you yanks, but I prefer to think correctly, and say that we drive on the other side of the road from you.

BizSAR · 2004-04-12, 08:00 PM

Hahaha...just joking with you. Actually, my context was more exact. In Europe (OK, everywhere but in the US/Nextel Cup, I believe), cars are raced in a clock-wise direction. Here they race in a counter-clockwise direction. We always gotta be different, eh?

I hadn't thought about what side of the road we drive on. I think I'd wrap myself around a telephone pole or end up with a head-on collision if I drove much over there. That and I'd be constantly getting in the wrong side of the car. I bet you see some of that over there. *Damn tourists!*

Huh.. racewise, we don't have many oval tracks (Only one I know is Rockingham)

Anyway, BTCC + WRC > NASCAR

Formula 1 (minus certain German assholes in Ferraris who win every race) > All

Formula 1 is fun to watch right at the beginning when everyone jockeys for position. After the first few laps it gets boring in my opinion due to the fact that since the races are rather short, the guy that starts out dominating usually ends up dominating as there is a lack of time for adjustments.

OneManArmy · 2004-04-12, 10:13 PM

nah, Ima have to agree that rally racing pwns all other types of racing. nobody comes close to the amount of fucking balls those people have. goin 100+ mph over sandy, muddy, gravel etc on a road that if you fuck up you go flyin off a huge ass cliff or plow into a tree. they own all.
