Wake up man.
That has nothing to do with Nascar. Too many people watching those chain-racing, demolition derbies on Speed!

Don't you try and tell me what NASCAR is all about. I'd run contraband to the state line and roll it across just so I' don't lose my car. LOL.

How about we put go cart tires on all the cars in every racing series. In comparison, that's what we buy.

There is nothing to loose swapping information between teams and drivers because NASCAR already know who's going to win.

NASCAR's FUTURE?
_____________________

Eventually they have to regress to ...the Figure Eight track!

High H.P. cars! Left and RIGHT hand turns! Ballsy/HE-MEN drivers! Mind blowing T-Bone crashes! Flames! Rollovers!

Ever seen the movie "Roller Ball" w/ James Cann?

Blood sport! The future! Increasingly bored fan's will demand it!



(I could be wrong.)

Try racing bikes.. the sayin "stand them up if you have to" is the nice way of pushing someone off your line.

best race
