Don't get me wrong I like F-1 as well, but it is just to difficult to actually see the race from the track. That is just the nature of road racing. I have been to dozens of NASCAR events and thr focus of the track owners has always been to try and set up the facilities so that a large % of the fans can see what is going on over the entire track no matter where they sit. Plus at most of the tracks when you get hungry there is no shortage of food stands near by to fee your face, choke down a beer, or even purchase fanatic gear. That is why the sport has become so darned popular.

You have apoint. F1 is the same, now with all the rules, but the last time I watched F1 it was still exciting. They should bring back the turbo charged engines. I would love to see a F1 go 300mph. I think Nelson Piquet had the fastest speed of over 220mph. I'm not 100% sure, I was just a kid in Brasil going nuts everytime I watched F1.

I used to be a big watcher of F-1 in my younger years, but with the advances of the NASCAR as a sport I made the change back in 1990. Even the NASCAR officials have put restrictor plates on every car for the big track races at tracks like Daytona, Charlotte, and Talladega to limit their speeds for safety reasons. Without the restrictor plates these cars will now run into the 230 MPH range on the 2.5 mile banked oval tracks. If you have ever driven over 150 mph or more you can appreciate that running in traffic over 200 mph is phsycotic, but hugely entertaining. Dale E was the most revered driver on the NASCAR circuit. While racing at Daytona a few years back He hit the wall in the 3rd turn on the last lap going about 200 mph and never recovered. He died in like 2001 and still today his offical gear outsells every other driver. You should try going to just one race with a few friends. We usually stay at the track in an RV for the weekend and party every night after the Bush and Nextel Cup races. We always spend a little time in the garage area, and the stunt shows are getting crazy as well. The whole event is a blast.
