If I see Nascar is on, and i'm not watching or planning on watching anything else, I will switch to it. i don't watch a lot of live tv anymore, i've resorted to using the webernets for my tv addiction.
good part about nascar, is I can see the replays more than I can see the F1 replays. ...on the rare occasion that they actually have one.

I used to be a big fan of Nascar. I liked going to the races and partying I mean camping out!

It was more fun to get the girls to play SUYT and shoot the huge water balloons into the crowd from a ground launched super sling shot.

Watkins Glenn is a great place to see a race. Lots of camping, wineries and Lake Seneca is right down the road in case you need to freshen up (although it is rather cold any time of the year). The water is crystal clear. We were standing on someone's dock getting ready to jump in. You can see the bottom clear as day. We would have never guessed that it was over 20 foot deep until we jumped in.

It's not much fun to watch on tv though. Your head just gets dizzy from watching them go round, and round, and round.... oh wait a reck.......more round and round, and round.

I haven't missed a Nascar race in a bunch years, I've been to many, If I am forced to miss one live, I record it.

The same with NHRA.

Nascar was getting pretty boring, but recent changes have really woke things up.

My passion is road racing, however there are no good series anymore.

-Enjoy
