It gets even mre specific than that, dd74. There are the short track vs. superspeedway chassis, but within those catagories are the concrete short track, asphalt short track, high banked short track, flatter short track, "not-so-super" (mile or so) speedway, etc. chassis. They are all (or once were) very different. I'm not so sure now-a-days.
You might be able to tell I was once a NASCAR fan. I raised my kids watching that as our sport to share father/son time. I'll chime in too that the fans, drivers, and everyone involved were the epitomy of polite and gracious. I never had to worry about what my young sons saw or heard on TV or at a race. I well remember my then three year old at a Sonics game with me one time when Charles Barkley hollared "fuch you" at a ref loud enough for us to hear him on the 200 level. Never been back.
O.k., so that was then, this is now. No longer a fan. "WWF on wheels" is an apt description. Not just the driving, but the fights, the language (thank you Tony Stewart); the whole package. The charm is gone in their effort to appeal to a larger audience or something. Talk about being out of touch with your demographic.
So F1 starts next week. Should be an interesting year...
