I love motorcycle racing and super cross/motocross. The only issues with that is privateers have almost zero chance of winning. But that's the way it seems to go in most large racing orgs.

Keeps the cars close and maximizes chances of big pile ups because they are going four wide into a corner.

Nascar i dislike because the idea that the fans are excited by crashes and the sport is designed to allow them versus discourage them.  obviously, the drivers have made the choice to risk their lives, but that still doesn't make it OK to me. (this is also why i hate fighting sports)

also, i have driven a stock car. it was unrefined and awful. sounded amazing and was fun to drive on the milwaukee mile, but the car itself was the most un-cool part of the experience. oh yeah and the bastards claimed it was the same car the pros drive, but you could tell it had a limiter on it. when I asked them about it after driving, they just denied it.

 NASCAR can be good in the final 15 laps for me, but I skip the first 6,985 laps.

This is how I feel about it.

I just watch the end for the Burnouts.

I agree, to an extent.. NASCAR can be good in the final 15 laps for me, but I skip the first 6,985 laps.

Drag racing is unbearable.

Gives a good perspective on it then the usual "rednecks driving in a circle" diagnosis. Its a lot more than that

F1 technical advancements do more for road car technology development than NASCAR developments do, IMO.
