Two weeks ago I attended, for the very first time in my life, an asphalt oval race at the
Greenville Pickens Speedway.
I loved it.
Renegade class is basically cars you buy on the cheap from the local shopper paper, install a cage, and race. And there were other classes that ran in other heats that night, but I really enjoyed seeing real cars, as opposed to the tube frame NASCAR toys, racing around.
But as much as I enjoyed the GPS race, I still am firm in my belief that NASCAR as it currently exists is like masturbation with a cheese grater - some excitement, but mostly just pain.
