RedDevilGuns 25 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 It's better then slow ass baseball, talking football, regular season basketball, and any ice hockey. All of those who don't like it can suck it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jpanzer 1,265 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Nascar... the most boring form of motorsport known to mankind. Even mud bogging and tractor pulls offer more excitement. BTW... the only people who don't like ice hockey are the girlie little bitches who can't skate.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Odd Man Out 1,283 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I admit to being a touch out of the loop on most things (hence; "Odd Man Out) but I have never gotten into any sports at all in my life. When I was young I read about the Roman empire and how the rulers would divert the populations attentions from what was important in the Empire by providing "Bread and Circus' ". I see all sports as only diverting -- I could never understand why so many got so interested in people chasing, hitting, throwing balls around or watching things go round and round in circles. There is sooo much wrong happening in our country today that I feel it is an abdication of responsibility to sit on one's derriere and zone on such trivial things.

pony_express1973 183 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Have to admit i am a nascar fan but it's tough to sit down and watch a race espically when it starts to get warmer and there are more things I can be doing the sitting in front of a TV. It doesn't help that the driver I follow has not been doing too hot the last couple of years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fallschirmjager667 729 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 nascar better than hockey? don't pass that crack pipe my way 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think we had a NASCAR thread last year that went south because of differing views. Personally, I can't get into it. YMMV But I did love watching "Days of Thunder" when I was young. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Once upon a time I was a Redskins fan, Then they laid down and died. Now I dig NASCAR as an old engineman those motors sound so good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

frz1197 128 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm kind of glad the 500 is tomorrow. Hopefully the range will be empty. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm in. Range in the morning, Daytona in the afternoon.....If the past weeks any indication, should be a great day of tuning left at 187mph The rest of you non believers should all go to church 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I don't know man.....NASCAR is pretty boring. I've even been to a live race (2010), up in a big ass tower condo right on the track.....and even then, it was like watching grass grow indoors. But if there's a party going on with some decent looking pussy to chat up....well.........then I'm all in. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobRez 1,895 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) I stopped watching years ago. They honestly just became too boring to stand. If you even remotely enjoy driving, you get bored just turning left in a big giant pack of cars. I can just look around me during rush-hour if I need to see that. After Alan Kulwicki won the championship, well, that was the last year it was worth a shit. Now it is just corporate $$ backing 43 cars, of which you see one of MAYBE 10 guys win every race. At least F1 has really talented drivers who know how to actually DRIVE a car...but still too much corporate $$ and decisions like a winning driver Laying-back, to let a teamate win. Plus, I can't sit there for 3 hours while my guns are screaming to be shot. edit: Being in Montana, I can't even imagine where the "Better than Hockey" thing came from...probably too many Coors Lights!!

Lone Eagle 839 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 True NASCAR died with Dale Earnhardt. Now, they have to wear those ugly contraptions and have umpteen dozen safety devices on the car. Take the sport back to "you build it, you race it", and we'll talk. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our life's work won't pint to a hill of beans. Chrissy, you are really pressing my buttons baby. Yeah I played but never bought in. Always seemed to be a prop for an ego that needs one...or a filler for a mind that can't handle anything too difficult so fills itself with the awesome complexity and wonder of sports -- what a waste of time... Now, turning from the immature mental sparring to truth: Who cares if you or I are remembered -- Even the poorest of persons can help one another and if you do, your life has indeed "amounted" your outlook seems nihilistic indeed -- you must be fairly young. Okay, you can play the game (I know I enjoy it) -- your turn. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunnybean 939 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have watched on and off for 10+ years. Honestly, I have a hard time staying tuned unless it's the last 10 laps on a super speedway. Like some others here, I'm not much of a "sports" guy... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedDevilGuns 25 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Well it's easy to follow when you're hammered. Plus the start of the season is always great. but even I take a break to do other things. like getting more beer, drinking more beer, and cleaning guns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colon Terminus 61 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hmm ... lemmesee. The last time I attended a roundy-round race was the Darlington 500 in 1958. Ol' Fireball Roberts won that race. He was probably the first roundy-round racing superstar. It was hot as hell in the open grandstands and I drank too much beer. After the race I passed out back at the motel. When I woke up, my buddy who drove down with us was fuckin' my girlfriend. Never went back to another race after that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats a bad day, or a good one depending on hindsight! Hopefully you took up drag racing, its better then roundy round, any day! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
