the fly by.
I happened to be flipping through the channels and saw the 2 A-10's from Willow Grove PA, though the race seemed to be in GA.
MikeD, was that you.

Nope, not me. I'm active out of Tucson. The Willow Grove Hogs are Pennsylvania Air Guard. First time I'd seen Hogs used for a NASCAR flyby. Usually F-16s or F/A-18s.

Tony Stewart is alright, but I am all about #24 Jeff Gordon! Ricky Craven is one of my favorites as well. we'll see how he does this season in a ponitac.
[/ QUOTE ]
Interested to see how the Pontiacs run. What is there only 2 or 3 on the field this year?
I like Marlin for one reason; getting out on the track to fix a bumper while under a red flag and right behind the pace car.

NASCAR is the best thing on earth besides flying and greasy pizza. I am a HUGE Rudd fan (hense the 28, but now i should switch it to 21)--I go to the June Michigan race every year and don't miss a race on TV. It is the best. The flyovers are even cooler in person b/c high up on the grandstands, they come right at you and you are like eye level with a F-16 that is headed right at you!

Does everyone know what Nascar stands for? It stands for National Association of Stupid Crazy A$$ed Rednecks! Ha, sorry. That's wrong I know.

No, I agree, I can't stand NASCAR!

Face it, oval tracks are lame.
The cars are slow as dirt, and the technology is barely out of the 1930's.
WRC and F1 are where its at!!!
An F1 car:
1350 lbs
Carbon Fiber Honeycomb Frame/Body
3.0 liter V-10
>900 hp at 19,000 RPM
7 speed sequential manual gearbox
Carbon Fiber Brake Rotors
According to Ferrari, if their F1 car was set up for an oval superspeedway (gearing, aerodynamics), it would do over 300mph.

I haven't watched much NASCAR since Dale Earnhardt died. Its just not the same.

Yeah I agree, although I haven't watched it over the last few years cause we didn't re-subscribe to cable after we moved. Haven't watched much tv at all really, you just can't got back to regular tv after having cable.

NASCAR actually stands for Non-Athletic-Sport-Centered-Around-Rednecks.

But the Truth of the matter is that these "Non Athletic Rednecks" make millions and their wives and girlfriends are as hot as they come! I will take being a Redneck and Non Athletic to get some of that action Jeff Gordon is getting in on anyday!

blee256- it is good to see another J.Gordon fan. Gordon fans are few and far between. I have been watching stock car racing for 20 years, and each year it gets more exciting. Every year I go to Daytona, and Taladega. Although the fly by's are cool, the race is more exciting. [ QUOTE ]

That was probably the funniest thing I ever saw at Daytona. [ QUOTE ]

That's impossible, a car going 300 mph around a track. The car wouldn't stick to the track, it would hit a wall. Race cars that go 300 mph are straight track cars, or salt flat cars.

Yea stock cars that are running 186-200 mph at Daytona, Atlanta, and Taladega are really slow.If you think that stock cars are still using technology from the 1930's you better take another look at stock car racing.

Why is it that when I hear the term NASCAR - I hear the "Dueling Banjo's" song from "Deliverance" ringing in my ear?????
Don't understand the thrill of watching a bunch of good-ol'-boys making a series of left turns at high speed for hours on end.
May be just me though.
