Plan_B Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 "not a sport....drive in circles....rednecks".It's good to read diverse,concise,well-formed opinions about a given topic. You guys should really try and expand your thought process.As it is,most of you just sound as stupid as you try and make Nascar out to be.I just said it was boring to watch, don't hate me :excl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultra_runner Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Growing up my father used to bring me to the modified races in the North East. Geoff Bodine ran modifieds back then and was always winning, but always cheating too. Back then it was mostly added weights to help the corning and gears. It starts at level and goes all the way up. You gotta think too that the racing mentality is win at all costs and their always thinking up something new and pushing the limit (of the rules).Scott C.

Fudge_Brownie Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Why cheat though? Do you honestly think they do it just to claim they are faster? Or do they do it because behind the scenes million dollar sponsors threaten to pull funds if they do not produce?So you think sponsors do not know teams cheat? When you sponsor a team for a campaign you know what they are doing. They submit marketing strategies, tam strategies, and so much other info long before a sponsor signs on. Beyond that I am appalled to see the damn driver acting shocked.Seriously, couldn't have said it better myself. And any driver who claims to not know his team was cheating... should just be put on a podium and laughed at. For being stupid. I never have understood Amerca's love for current day NASCAR. I got my own theory going that people like GM, Ford and Chrysler want Toyota out. If American cars had anything left goin for them in the stereotype market, its that they go faster than any Toyota. But the Toyota was known for reliability. Now with what, a 260hp Camry out and working on getting into the NASCAR game, Toyota will have it all. A car American's know to be fast AND reliable with a decent price! [i'm talking from a regular car buyers point of view, not a car enthusiast's]Theres 100 better racing sport events out there, and all I have to watch on regular cable is NASCAR. It makes me sad. If i wanted to watch things run in circles, thats afraid of water, right turns, and has a ton of restrictions, I'd buy a small animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 It's only cheating if you get caught. so let em do whatever they want....then there is no way to get caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromtheshadows Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 so let em do whatever they want....then there is no way to get caught.Thats true. Aside from safety standards let em run what they brung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Thats true. Aside from safety standards let em run what they brung.Its racing, or its supposed to be. ASSCAR is too nerfed as it is. Instead of a pass button they need a JATO pack they are allowed to use once per race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyota's are mostly made here, and GM's garbage parts come from Mexico, Taiwan etc...if they only knew.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pops Racer Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 not a huge nascar fan, however until they all drive the same car with the same box of spare parts, the same tools and the same BUDGET, cheating will go on. crooks have better and more sophisticated gear than the authorities, hackers create viruses faster than security companies can detect them, legalize dope and prostitution and save the law enforcement spending, terrorists change and adapt before we can nail'em, yadda,yadda,yadda... it used to be race for pride and braggin rights now its for UPS, Tide, and M&M running bonuses..seems it aint been the same any how since #3 crossed over the infield. punk kid drivers who aint done squat wrecking and wreeking havoc. Gordon got on the scene and started winning like #3. it took a lifetime to get those numbers. he aint been cheatin and NASCAR lookin the other way since he came to save the day? its fading fast and track owners are trying to come up with gimmicks to boost attendance-- they are losing core fans that resent the focus on new and yuppier crowds. any pub is good pub, just keep it on the front page baby!i dig Robbie Gordon, Baja, Paris to Dakar, Lime Rock, World Rally Cross, CT RT77 from Guilford to Durham.

stick70 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 i'd love to see nascar use OEM spec cars and blocks and have to build those up to 700hp and make them last .. that would be funAgreed, this is called "stock car" auto racing after all isnt it?Dont get me wrong, Im a fan but I do think they need to adress some cheating issues as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
