Not the best introduction post i've seen...

Ironically the subject you posted on has a stereotype - a stereotype that you seem to fit the profile of perfectly.
Crass and obnoxious.

Spiffu Was it right or left in this turn

After sadly living in the southern part of the U.S.A and being surrounded by NASCAR fans I now fully understand why it is popular. Because poeple who like NASCAR are morons who enjoy crap that isnt racing because they are very stupid. Hence forth many do not own computers so there are few torrents.

Funny. That doesn't stop NASCAR haters from being crass and obnoxious. NASCAR is as much a racing series as anything else. And yes, I do watch it. And no, I'm not a redneck.

But I have to say, why would a nascar fan want to watch races after they're done? Watching reviews and reruns of a nascar race just doesn't work. It's just not as exciting.

Sorry for that I got caught at a very bad moment. Im usually not that much of a dick.

Heil. I'm pointing out that a stereotype exists and judging by Zrick's first post, he could fit that profile. Generally, a way to ask for something politely is to say e.g: "Could i please...", "Can somebody please help find...?", "......thankyou" etc.
A bit of courtesy, especially in a first post doesn't take much, and this thread would probably have taken a completely different track to what it has.
Who posts / asks for something like this anyway?

As much as people like to hate on NASCAR, it represents some very sound and robust and clever engineering....

Think about this:

The cars weigh about 3500lbs, run pushrod V8's and can hiot 170mph on short tracks.

Add to this wheel size limits of 15", yet the tiny brake rotots/pad can haul thos cars from 170mph to 70mph once every 20 seconds or so - for 500 or 600 laps - sometimes more.

Think about the stresses and strains on those wheel bearings, the heat disipation requirements of those brake rotors - the extreme punishment the shocks endure.

Now think the same chassis sees 2 main feature events PER WEEK sometims, as well as 3 or 4 days of practice.

Add to this the reality that when NASCAR drivers step to other motor sports, they do better sooner than when other motorsport drivers step over to NASCAR

Didnt Jeff Gordon run a Forumla 1 car at the Indy grandprix to within 1s of the pole qualifiying time - his first time out??

Hahaha omg I died! (Spiffu vid)

Is it straight enough!!???

Basicly as a guy from europe the only thing about nascar i know is that they all have the same v8 cars and they are going left and straight. As a scientist and person who also has common sense i don't want to judge to quickly but my god thats enough for me to not watch these races. Obviously still having full respect to people who do want to enjoy nascar. But this discussion is about user zrick and i have to agree with styla21 - thats not the way to begin your trip with MW community

I think we've scared the guy away. He's hiding in shame due to his lack of social skills.

I've watched NASCAR on a few occasions and I must say it's not a favourite. It's not really all that exciting and it's pretty mundane. It certainly requires a lot of skill and hard work, but even lawn bowls is better to watch on TV.

His question wasn't a very good one as it's easily answered if you look at the interests of the people who use MW.

Anyway, the random NASCAR bashing is just, as if not more, ignorant than they claim NASCAR fans to be. People look at it and say, "oh it's just straights and left turns, how simplistic and boring." While there is some point to be made there, one must respect that to be competetive in oval racing one must be at the limit of grip CONSTANTLY. They are flirting with the limits far more than any road racer and must do so for about 4 hours . . . not a lame F1-esque 2 hours.

My favorite type of racing is endurance road racing as I find the cars more relevant, and the courses and test of time more interesting, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy NASCAR or that I go around arbitrarily holding my nose up.

Lastly, I find it a bit ironic that this conversation happened right before one of the two yearly Sprint Cup road races. They're at Infineon tomorrow, so I'm going to make sure to watch the race. Go Ron Fellows!

The problem is that NASCAR bashing is far easier for most benchracers than actually engaging in meaningful discussion...
