I figured there are at least a few NASCAR fans here.

As much as we like to knock NASCAR, these guys are still hurtling around at 200mph in a racecar next to concrete walls.. so they goota either have some nads or a little skill.. ;)

Not to mention the fucker who comes in last place still pockets about $40,000 a race... :shock:

Wow. I'm in the wrong job.

Yes I agree, they must have some serious skill to keep it together at that kind of pace. I find anything over about 140 and my mind cannot keep up with the speed I am driving, too much happening too fast, if that makes sense. I guess its training, and cojones...

Great pics 67MUSTANG, you seemed to be able to get some great angle! Generally i find NASCAR to be quite dull, but good points being made about the fact that those guys must have balls of steel.

I didn't realise they get paid so much, if the last-placed driver gets 40K then what the hell does the winner get?!

The standings after 3 races into the season: NASCAR is an amazingly profitable business - just like Football, Baseball, Soccer etc - where you have a league of fans who can just about make each months credit card bills turning up to watch people earn more per game/race/event than they each make per year... ;) :P

Thanks for the compliments guys. The feed back so far has been much more positive than I expected. Normally i'm not a big fan of Nascar, but the company I work for ships about 200 packages a day with Fedex so the tickets, breakfast, lunch, and the ride to the track were all free. How could I resist?

I did get some video if anybody wants to see it. It's a little jumpy but the sound is great. I don't have any way to post it though.

Thanks again.
