Re: [FWDLK] Daytona 500



   When I became a stock car fan, the typical cars on the track were 63 Galaxies and such.  They were real cars you saw in your neighbor's driveway.  THAT was exciting !  Bit by bit cars got more dull as a whole and then NASCAR turned their back on everything they had been for 40+ years and went to racing those *things*.  They certainly are not stock cars !  Remember when Tim Flock lost a title because his push rods had been altered ?  "Stock" meant STOCK !!!  ..... and "NASCAR" meant National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing.  See the inconsistency ?  How did this go so wrong ?  It is like having your car stolen and then seeing someone drive it past you.  Relax ?  Forget that!  ... gimme back my NASCAR !
 
  I know, ....  I live in the past. 
 
  Hey, you kids, get off my lawn !  ;-D
 
  Don't even get me started on the whole golf thing !

You guys need to learn to relax.
 
When you watch the speed skaters at the Olympics is it a bunch of crap
because they all use basically the same skates ?
 
Some drivers are better at driving than others.
Some teams can prepare better than others.
Penske was always good at that.  Go Dodge ! 
Some teams can spend more than others.
 
It is a contest on that level.
 
If you don't care for it, you can look away.
I think there was a golf match on the idiot box at the same time.
 
Now, there is some boring crap.     Hehe he.

Too bad those cars have about as many Dodge parts in them as my Cadillac Eldorado does. There are no Dodges, Chevys, Fords, Toyotas (god, has it come to this?), in NASCAR. They are all the same professionally built chassis, engines, ect. with different headlight decals on them, real Stock cars went out with platform shoes and bell bottoms.

   AMEN !!!!
 
   What happened to "Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday" ?  These aren't real cars !  Gimme a break.  How did so many people swallow the line that today's NASCAR has ANYTHING to do with the STOCK CARS that provide the "SC" in NA-SC-AR ???  Give me my NASCAR back !  This joke of racing fiberglass blobs and calling them something they are not (something I could actully buy down at the dealer) is like ordering a nice dinner and being served a turd.  When all cars became bars of soap and NASCAR racers became parodies of bars of soap  .....  Who the hell cares ?  Bring back REAL cars and REAL racers and I'll be right there.  Until then, it is all a bunch of crap.
 
   Aaaarrgghhhh !
