To each his own-but NHRA 8,000 horsepower is REAL HORSEPOWER.

they couldn't...and straight line for 4 seconds is ALOT different....I have heard Force,Amato,Denshem, and others say they respect all the great NASCAR drivers many times...they are both hard...even HARDER for 4 hours...let alone..4 seconds.

Much harder than NHRA. they are athletes...look at CARL EDWARDS and MARK MARTIN.....and all the others.

Yea um kinda hard to do with a 300 inch dragster with 8000 horsepower.

But to you "big city boys" its OK to run your Ford Explorers and 3 series BMWs at 90-100MPH in circles on the beltway, drafting (tailgating to city folk) others? And running in packs of shitty little ricers "racing" in highway traffic is considered.... hillbilly?

Amen to that....

in circles on the beltway??
tailgating we are guilty of, but not because we are racing.
also being big city boys, we can afford out BMWs and such.

I didn't realize that being able to "afford" a performance vehicle entitles one to drive like an asshole like it seems to with the NY and NY drivers around here that tailgate, pass (cut-off) without using signals, and weave aimlessly through the lanes while yaking it up on their cell fones.

To those drivers, please stay the fuck out of my state. There are better routes to drive between NYC and Boston.

(FWIW, I could grab a new BMW-7xx cash, but I wouldn't want to be associated with the masses that drive them around here.)

But they didn't do it on slicks. You have to have treads, otherwise, you are in the wall.

true that ..... I think they make enough money to buy a set or 2 .....

[norm43a]

and they just slid in as if nothing happened ...TV ratings and merchandising, that is what NASCAR NEXTEL Cup is all about now ....

And name one major sporting entity that doesn't do that (except the NHL and its TV package). The merchandising, star promotion, the whole marketing package is what is required for a sport in today's society.

The NBA wouldn't be where it is today if not for the foresight of the commissioner's staff to promote the league and owners like Mark Cuban going out and making sure people hear about the sport.

Major league baseball, football, the NHL, and yes, NASCAR, all have superb marketing teams that make sure the word is out there and entice people to flip over to the channel and watch.

The only exception right now is the NHL and its TV package for nationally televised games. Most people wouldn't know what channel to turn to in order to watch a game. Fortunately, I am in Dallas and all the Star's games are on one of two channels. But for the rest of the league action if you don't have cable, tough luck. Until the end of this contract, the NHL will be hurt by lack of exposure. And that is what all the other sports have going fo them right now.

with the silly ass way you guys talk from CT (accent), believe me, any normal person out there will avoid youre fuckin state

Uhhhhhhhhhhh, I wouldn't say that.... Unless you are being sarcastic.
I have done both. It isn't about being harder. It is about having different skill sets.

If it's a big American V8 and burns gasoline/nitro/alcohol I love it and watch it. Hell I've been watching Nascar/Grand National for damn near 40 years.

And we're happy with that.
