Speed is owned by the Bill LF NASCAR machine. It happened a few years ago. That is why it became the NASCAR channel. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Speed Channel is in effect the NASCAR channel, that is why we don't see as much other series of racing as we used to. What's next: NASCAR 24 hours a day!

Five hundred laps of 5000 pound cars slinging around an oval track at nearly constant speeds. It would be funner to just GO outside and DRIVE a Porsche. Screw the NASCAR channel, right guys?

These guys are fast, prolly faster in equal cars than 99% of the guys on this web. It's good racing. Instead of whining on the board, just turn your TV off.

I am already awake...
Nascar is to autosports as wrestling is well wrestling! Havin said that, Tony Stewert is DAMN fast on the road course during the 24hours at Daytona. No doubt they are fast and they have talent.
Paul Newman said that real racecars turn right, brake and run in the rain! He was talking about the CART vs Indy Car debachel but the point is valid! And since Steve McQueen is dead, he is the coolest man alive!
Stock cars at Watkins Glen or Mid Ohio is some of the most entertain racing ever! But, alas, we are not the ones buying tickets and schwag...

As for us not know sh!t about the subject, well now is not why the Internet exsits? For porn and making comments on forums?

Spooling.... Please wait Group: Members Posts: 13,380 Joined: 20-January 03 From: Riverbank, Ca Member No.: 172 Region Association: Northern California	I like the parts that nascar produces... Sway bar goin up front, Brake and clutch system from wilwood is on my "to get", brakes are sick, engines rev high... All the cool stuff from Colemanracing.com.... but I hate the racing... The concept is to simple for me to like.. Oval corses are fun.. for a little... Im sure ill drive one a couple times... but braking, accelerating, G forces in more than one direction... Thats were the real racing is at.. IMHO. Andrew
