Cheating to Turn Left Faster? Nascar 2007

[A//// Guy]

Dirt might be enjoyable, and in person would probably be better, but I cant stand watching it on TV.

That Mario Kart picture is funny as hell!

Good call! No need to clean stuff when it was a MOD starting drama in the first place. If he wants it cleaned let him do it.

Contrary to what my roommate thinks, I do clean up my own messes.

How are we even comparing dirt track racing to NASCAR? They do happen to only turn in one direction, and yes, with cars. Thats about all they share in common. I dont see alot of NASCAR drivers doing full on power slides through corners.

And yes, although growing on me, NASCAR is still for rednecks and their sons-brothers. They use carbs, cmon! How good can it be?

I like racing that uses the best available technology aka F1.

Agreed. I tend to lean towards things more hi-tech. Thats part of the reason I was drawn towards imports to begin with. The power people were extracting out of smaller displacement engines through the use of technology and tuning. I can hear it now..... NASCAR tunes their cars...blah blah... I know, but they also use old crappy technology for some portions to "maintain the roots of their racing."

Most NASCAR driver's start out racing on dirt tracks. When I go to the fall Talladega race Tony Stewart still fields a dirt track car on Friday-Saturday night at the Talladega dirt track.

Tony Stewart also owns a World of Outlaws team, and owns a handful of dirt cars which he sometimes races at local tracks, most notably at Cedar Lake Speedway just across the river in Wisconsin. Many other NASCAR drivers own dirt track teams and/or cars that they race regularly.

Well a guy just crossed the finish line upside down and on fire in the Daytona 500 for 18th place. Works for me!

Ironically it was the 07 car that I saw at the start of the race. They wrote the "7" all funky and I remember thinking it would look exactly like a "20" upside down. Turns out it did.

[Matt D.]

The last 40 laps were exciting as hell. Excellent finish! Too bad Martin didn't win.

[Kracka]

I caught 3 bits of the race and each time there were crashes. I suppose as the rednecks say, "Rubbin' is racin'."

You watched at the wrong times.

I agree, would have been cool to see him and Kurt Busch fight it out at the end. Just a racing deal between them though...

[Pushit2.0]

Slingshot .... engaged, owned.

Good race last week.

[Matt D.]

Keep in mind they were going over 180mph when they crossed the line like that.
