The Stanley Cup thread

[Rooster]

NASCAR is a bunch of people who couldn't hack racing F1, so get in cars that can pretty much steer themselves, and the only reason anyone watches it is because Rednecks love car crashes.

Nascar just seems to epitomise the amernican way of cars... in that "yeah, it's very fast and loud...but can it go around corners without flipping?" for 200 laps.

You want a motor-sport with skill? Try the World Rally Championship....racing at 200kph down a small dirt road you've never seen before, let alone practiced on.

That's a real motor-sport. As is the Paris-Dakkar. Nascar is just for people who don't know anything about cars but like watching them crash.

We aren't all like that. The Baja 1000 is interesting to watch, as are some of the more "legally ambiguous" races (like The Cannonball, though that no longer exists).

I've been to Watkins Glen, but not for the racing... we went camping there and actually explored the glen itself. Truly an amazing piece of nature. I recommend it.

Shame. Maybe one time, we should put you in a NASCAR car, put 42 other cars on the track, and have you go at the same speed as the pros do (in a 150+ degree car with no A/C!) and see how long you last. I doubt you'd make it through the first turn without crashing or getting spun out. NASCAR drivers are some of the best drivers in the world, and what they do takes a LOT of skill and split-second reaction times.

Guess what, different people have different skills. Different people value different skills. Not everyone appreciates racing, and not everyone thinks much of the skills the drivers have.

Really? Considering that Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Patrick Carpentier, Dario Franchitti, and Juan Montoya all came from open-wheel series (Montoya from F1!) before joining NASCAR, they'd beg to differ. Even legends like Mario Andretti and AJ Foyt raced in both open-wheel and NASCAR.

I know, I know... it was just a good time to use that picture, and unlike other "lol internet arguing is teh st00pid" pics, this one is cute and hasn't been used to death yet. ^_^

Apparently, internet arguing causes you to become fingerless and noseless like a Bocaj.

As a debater this argument offends me.

HAHA I made a thread that went off topic.

That is like saying "I am a white person who has used the word 'dude' before."

And a female. Or, technically, two females.

You forgot the most important part, pupil-less.
