Just watching the Hamster doing NASCAR (while doing my email :rolleyes:). It looks soooooo much fun! You can get close, actually get to go round the circuit near flat out and in the pack, chat to the drivers. It's rough, they have fights to settle disputes instead of stewards inquiries ... loving it !!! But then Dad was a racing driver before WWII ...

Doh ... think I'm still a wild one at heart :D :cool: ... anyone else love this stuff?

I enjoy most motorsports Elen, F1 is a bit of a procession sometimes though.

Rallying is my choice, I've done a couple of amateur races in my time

The stuff going on around the track look like a lot of fun, but the driving around an oval must get a bit boring at times.

I really enjoy motorsport, although Ive gone off F1. Nowadays they may as well paint a wall, watch it dry and give Sebastian Vettel some Champagne

Yeah, F1 is a bit of a procession now and they don't allow you anywhere near the track. They still did when I was a kid and Dad took me to some, don't think it was called F1 then either. Had boyfriends who rallied Minis around woods in the middle of the night and did hill-climbs, they took me as navigator, it was an amazing rush !!!

Jag, I also had several biker boyfriends :rolleyes:

Don't get to watch NASCAR much but when I do, I love it. Still enough accidents (and unfortunately, the occasional fatatlity) to keep it far from boring. I do like what the acronym stands for too: Non Athletic Sport Created Around Rednecks.

Didn't know the acronym :D

LOL. It's a running joke. But NASCAR (more properly spelled NaSCaR) really is an acronym. The real meaning is: National Stock Car Racing. It originated by turning a profession (smuggling moonshine by outrunning law enforcement cars) into a sport.
