They've made a few changes to the cars. Looks pretty cool IMO, then again, I've been known to watch every once in a while.

my eta would pwn those cars.
Look at the negative camber int he first pic! It looks like he's under full braking, but still. I didn't know they ran that much neg camber on any track. -

alot of you guys underestimate nascar. you guys think turning left is boring, but try it sometime and you will have a totally different mindset. i have been a fan for almost all my life, but that rear wing has really turned me off. Also they are trying to hard for publicity. they need to get their shit together.Comment

I turn left 6 times on my way to work every day, still boringyou guys think turning left is boring, but try it sometime and you will have a totally different mindset.
I'll agree that pretty much every form of motor sports can be fun and entertaining, but to most people that appreciate BMWs and other European (and even Japanese... ugh) cars, it's far too basic to satisfy us. Turning left and right should logically be more challenging than just turning left, and since most of our cars were built to zip through twisty terrain, road courses and the cars that race on them are generally held in higher esteem by this group.
By some miracle of genetics (or horrid accident, your call), NASCAR fans don't understand any of this, and are perfectly content watching NASCAR and spending 76% of their income on the licensed memorabilia.
All except for you BDSax, you own a BMW so you didn't get all recessive genes :p (I'm just playing)'88 528e /// '88 M5 /// '89 951 /// '98 E430 /// '02 M5Comment

I watch it but for the wrecks. Nothing is better than seeing 10 plus cars around 200mph play crash up derby right before the end of a race!
Nascar has become a huge business and the people that are running it are bean counters and lawyers and do not have the passion nor the understanding where NASCAR came from.
But it is auto racing and I enjoy all forms of it!Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs!

Fuck Nascar. They are trying to build an 80,000 seat track not to far from where I live. Would you want to ruin this with an ugly racetrack and 80,000 drunk, screaming rednecks? No one up here even likes Nascar.

i chuckle at toothless hicks in 300 dollar jeff gordon dupont jackets. what a fucking waste of time nascar is. the only time i would even glance at a race is if they run a road coarse. otherwise id rather do yardwork than watch that shitComment

Straight lines, circles, and ovals are for people that can't drive.
I do enjoy watching GT and GT2.'89 "is" = M technic II build mode.

I used to go to the race in Dover in the late 80's/early 90's, but rarely watch it anymore. I still watch the two road races they have every year on TV, though. NASCAR is way better in person than on TV. You can bring your own beer/food and it is worth going just for watching the drunken cro-magnons in the parking lot.
The cars above are the "car of tomorrow". Are there any differences between the shapes of the GM, Ford, Chrysler and Toyota cars at all? They have gotten less distinctive over the years, but these all look the same to me.sigpicComment

i guess you haven't noticed that most big circle tracks also contain a road coarse in the infields. Look at California speedway, or Indianapolis. I even think Kansas has one, too(but there is Heartland Park so I dont know..)
So even tho a few nights out of the year there will be "drunk rednecks" runnin around, it might give the other population a chance to attend some circuit races or some local driver schools.
I don't care for NASCAR but I dont hate it either.

We already have a few smaller tracks in the area for circuit races and driving schools. Im pissed off enough as it is about all the assholes moving here from out of state and developing the rain forest for monetary gain (western washington is one of the last remaining temperate rain forest regions in the world). Building a track here would be an absolute travesty.Comment

I completely agree with you on location, it needs to be on the East side of the state - if it happens at all.
I read a fact that the volume of air that passes the restrictor plate on the carb, when multiplied by the number of cars, over a given standard length Nascar race (I have no clue) - equalled out to be the volume of air encompassed by the stadium 4 TIMES OVER! They mentioned the volume being for one particular track, but I forget which one.
That entire amount of passed hydrocarbons, over the given number of events held, over the lifespan of said proposed track, would probably have a horrible effect on the immediate environment.
I'm not even close to a hardcore tree hugger, but it seems like you would have a longer dry season on the other side of the Cascades - so better chances of a dry track - or at least fewer races run in wet conditions.
From both an environmental and safety (wet track days) standpoint, it seems completely irresponsible to build it over here. Build it somewhere close to the old Hanford reactor site - that land has to be dirt cheap, and you wouldn't need nearly as much lighting at nite! :D
It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.Comment
