I've listed a few that are my favorites up top in the pole but i want you guys to voice your opinions. These articles and and this section will be devoted to the types or racing you like, so post up! if you dont see something that you like on the pole. lemme knwo what you like, and ill try and incorporate it in the article!

[slostang]

I enjoy 1/4 mile and auto-x

[Nemesis]

WRC, Drifting, Drag, Road Course events...

not a huge fan of parking lot racing though...

[4dmin]

any type of road racing

[Sammich]

thought this was....nvm

i like grand am/gt/touring

[Ran]

I gotta be honest. Unless I'm actually driving (drifting, road course, auto-x, mtn. run, ect...) I find racing to be boring as hell.

[blacknightteg]

to each their own i guess. but then this is comming from the man who likes 5 year olds. lol.

[Ran]

to each their own i guess. but then this is comming from the man who likes 5 year olds. lol.How exactly is that pedo crack relevant to the subject? :thinking:

[DieselNuts]

I like pretty much all sorts of road course and drag racing but I am also a huge fan of the AMA superbike/supersport, motocross, supercross & supermoto as well as Moto GP

[DieselNuts]

How exactly is that pedo crack relevant to the subject? :thinking:
:dunno: its not...

[blacknightteg]

its not, i just felt like crackin that, SORRY RAN!

[BKgen®]

FORMULA ONE & ALMS > *

[Ran]

its not, i just felt like crackin that, SORRY RAN!It's cool.

I dunno man, I just can't sit there and get excited about watching cars racing each other. I mean don't get me wrong. If I go to Formula D, NASCAR at Talledega Super Speedway, Petite Le Mans, or something like that then I'll definitely get swept into the spectacle and enjoy myself. Without the spectacle though, I can't just sit there and get excited about it. Like when watching it on TV, it's as boring a baseball. :dunno:

[blacknightteg]

understandable

[Sammich]

BNT is a known idiot...delete this thread and OP out of existence....

True, the only other company that seems to be able to compete with them is Mercedes McClaren.

[BLK JDM]

I love motorcycle racing(AMA, WSB, MOTOGP) and NHRA Drag Racing!!

[Elbow]

True, the only other company that seems to be able to compete with them is Mercedes McClaren.

Are we talking F1...?

[NewGen33]

Are we talking F1...?
Yes we are, whats you take on this season.

[BKgen®]

go watch some redbull air racing lol

f*ck redbull air racing.

my dad and I go to Reno every year. Reno stead field is where air racing started. First time i went, i thought i was in heaven. Unlimited class > all... it'll make you sh*t your drawers.

[blacknightteg]

yeah, and newgen thats not really true, its been a few years since ferrari has been as dominant as they were back in the days of schuemacher(sp?) and barricello(sp?) many more teams have actually been qualifying well and placing well.

[BKgen®]

ferrari isnt really that dominant anymore.

my ass. GTFO.

[blacknightteg]

alright carz wannabe lol, they really arnt, i mean they have one races and what not this year but they have not been the complete dominant force that they once were.

[NewGen33]

yeah, and newgen thats not really true, its been a few years since ferrari has been as dominant as they were back in the days of schuemacher(sp?) and barricello(sp?) many more teams have actually been qualifying well and placing well.
Cant argue with that. But to me it just seems them and McClaren are the ones this year that are a little bit ahead of everyone else.

[BKgen®]

this thread is full of sacrelige. :(

[blacknightteg]

thats usually the case regardless...they have more funding going into them because of the companies that they are. im honestly hoping that honda and toyota eventually step up their game and are true competitors to the championship, i dont know why they arent.

[NewGen33]

All I know is I wish America was more involved in F1 Racing

[cornercarver78]

World Superbike, it's had some great close racing this year.

[blacknightteg]

this thread is full of sacrelige. :(


shut it bananna boy!

[BKgen®]

All I know is I wish America was more involved in F1 Racing

I don't.

America has no business being in F1 IMO. They have Indy.

[Ran]

All I know is I wish America was more involved in F1 RacingF1 is like the soccer of auto racing. America just doesn't care. lol

[NewGen33]

I don't.

America has no business being in F1 IMO. They have Indy.
Why not, and I hate Indy.

[Evil Goat]

drag....but i enjoy watching drifting, even though its not racing

[blacknightteg]

Why not, and I hate Indy.


well you think about it this way....out of all the manufactures that are in formula one, most of them are all either European companies/sponsors/or European Car manufactorers. For one thing, the idea of having GM in there wouldnt really happen. there too focused on things like nascar and the type or facing that america holds deer. crysler is already involved in F1 with mercades mclaren just not under the crysler name.

oh and on top of that, with INDY there arent even any american manufacturors in IRL anymore. Chevy used to be in it but now all they use is honda. racing has died down in the United States. the only thing that is really holding strong is nascar and even then they speculate that the manufacturors that support most of the teams in that series might pull out in the next few years.

[Turbo Terrance]

AMA... Sports Bikes.......:goodjob:

[BKgen®]

Why not, and I hate Indy.

Well... it kinda goes along with what Ran said. America has the NFL, europe and other countries have Futbol. I can't explain it... i'm by no means a wordsmith. But IMHO, F1 has a sort of heritage that only european (and some japanese) teams should be a part of. Even though i despise Nascar, It kinda goes along the same lines of most Nascar fans feeling that Toyota shouldn't be a part of Nascar... because it's always been an American motorsport with American manufacturers.

[BKgen®]

Not sure about that, man. ALMS is alive and kicking.

[blacknightteg]

Not sure about that, man. ALMS is alive and kicking.


yeah, i know after i posted that i thought of that, ALMS is definetly gaining steam and in all honesty. thinking about it, after the merger of cart and IRL the crowds at most races have definetly increased in numbers. As long as these two series are marketed well to both young and old, i feel they will probably be the two big racing divisions in the US sooner or later

[NewGen33]

All good points. I atleast want to see a race here in the states though.

[blacknightteg]

there definetly trying to push it back into happening, not alot of the manufactores, especially honda an toyota are happy that F1 pulled out. because a big base of their cars that are sold are over here. so they want a race back over here. they are thinkin that it will be back in here next year or maybe the year after.

[EJ25RUN]

I gotta be honest. Unless I'm actually driving (drifting, road course, auto-x, mtn. run, ect...) I find racing to be boring as hell.

Very simple way to explain to you how i can sit for 24 hours (straight) and watch a car race. (My Le Mans 24 holiday i take every year)

Racing is different than other sports in that the person watching nows what to be excited about. It's different for people but an F1 race is a good example. You might have 45 mins where "nothing" happens. But there is allot happening. Fuel Strategy's changing conditions. Drivers on different rubber. Etc.... All these add to the show.

But watching racing really is for the select few. That's ball and stick sports are supreme for the majority.

What's funny about that?

Scuderia Ferrari is now 80 years old......20 years older than Ferrari itself and all together holds 13 Le Mans wins in the pre war Alfa 8C 2300s and 1960-1965 domination.

Remember why the GT40 was created in the first place? Yeah cause Enzo didn't sell Italian greatness to an American car company.

Its also said in Italy that when he was alive, "On Sunday Enzo was more important than the Pope."

Oh and then there is F1 which they hold every record. They just scored their 200th win.

oh and what car was Nuvalari driving in the German GP in the 1930's against Hitler's Silver arrows? A Scuderia Ferrari Alfa p3

I know you dislike their street cars but to those of us that live everyday to watch racing, we know what the Prancing Horse represents.

[BKgen®]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to EJ25RUN again.

[blacknightteg]

amen to that, even tho im tired of ferrari winning alot of the time, there is nothing greater then ferrari in racing history.
