    Nascar is cool live. I went to my first live one last spring in Ricmond.We got to meet the Orange county chopper guys. We had lunch with the tow truck drivers. We even seen the King (Richard Petty)and his sons close up.One of the guys I brought with me peed with Kasey Kane,Made his day Drag racing is wht I like,Nostolga super stock and old Gassers are the best.I got to see Dyno Don running 10's at 80 something years old in a recreated 64 comet super stock.Wheels up and a smile on his face.

    I see I have hijacked the thread with a NASCAR discussion...oops.

    Gotta agree that NASCAR has a great following, and has been good to fill a motorsports gap here in the good ol US of A.

    Coming from someone who has spent some time on the track, my personal preference is road course racing (left AND right turns)...I don't understand circles/ovals. To each his own.

    My personal favorite, and my vacation destination this summer: The Isle of Man TT races (motorcycles), celebrating 100 years this summer!!!!!!!!!!!! 30 mile laps around the island, through towns, over bridges with 200mph straights!!!!!! Woooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was there! But disappointed in the lack of european exotics. There where three Ferraris and that was it. I was hoping to see a Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, TVR, Bugatti Veyron.

    But no, only three 80's Ferraris.

    This year was practically all Detroit muscle.

    There was a drifting show with three Mustangs.

    How about the Fiat Jolly, beach car, that went for over $80K.

    *sigh*

    Thats what I am talking about.... they will show stuff like THIS, but they wont show WRC. They can all kiss my grits.

    I guess the only thing better than watching cars race.... is watching old, rich, white people race to spend tons of money on cars, hahahaha.

    In case you missed it; last year Motor Trend already proclaimed the VX a future classic.
