Hi,
I
Hate the Series, but have profound respect for the Drivers. I do not consider it a form of MotorSport in any measure - I mean even Pickup Trucks..?? C'mon!
I believe it is the Modern equivalent of the
Roman Games and the precurser of
RollerBall!
It's purely a
Gladiator Sport. Which is what makes it so popular among the Masses. But, as Socrates said: "Γεννητός έσομαι ηλίθιος" , loosely translated - The People are Idiots.
Those Cars (with look-alike Production Bodies) are simply too unstable at the speeds they attain (I mean they're within a Hare's Breath of CART, INDY and F1 Top Speeds). It's dangerous, but where's a Hillbilly gonna make that kind of dough 'cept with some Backwoods Still?
It's not about Skill so much as it is about who's willing to take the greatest Risk to please the Crowds. It's a Circus. All IMHO of course...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
