one more thing, watching Nascar to me is probably allot like watching F1. We don't understand why we watch it because frankly both are very dull. But we still watch one of the two religiously, or we don't watch it all.

I was a huge fan of the CART series in the mid 90's up until Penske packed his bags and went for the big money at the IRL. CART was low tech but it didn't allow the drivers to hide behind endles driver's aids and gizmos to hide their mistakes. CART had fantastic variety of oval, road and street circuits with real overtakings (not just boring pit stop lead changes) and the talent of drivers was very good with at least 12 driver in the formula in the series on merit alone. One season saw 10 differnt winners in a single season. NOw that's something to look forward to.

But the CART formula was mis managed, mismarketed and not enough home grown talent was developed. Now its just a spectacle of pay drivers who have lowered the bar considerably. And you can't even see it on most cable TV networks.

So we have NASCAR and F1.... ZZZZZZZ
