Personally, I prefer dirt track racing. Sprint Cars and Late Models. I really like to watch the World of Outlaws. They used to play them on standard cable a lot, but very rarely anymore. Kinda Bums.

If you wish to, you can place a bet on the next Nascar event here: http://www.fightforum.com/showthread.php?t=1307

I sometimes watch Formula 1.

yeah like i said i been slowly (very slowly) losing interest in it. not sure what it is, but it just aint the same. i guess my main beef is taking away all the tradition that got them main streem to begin with.

anything rally related. WRC is a blast. even ran some rallyX in my own car. fast All Wheel Drive cars in the dirt, gravel and snow is a riot.

Dude I'm a MotoGP FREAK!!!!

I was just at Laguna Seca for their return to the states. It was bad ass, I was there 4 days. I talked to Colin Edwards for like 1/2 hour, met Valentino, Nicky, Shinya Nakano, Loris Capirossi, and Marco Melandri. And a bunch of AMA boys. I have pretty much every GP for the last 5 years, and a bunch of old 500cc days. I'm suppose to go to Holland for Assen next year, but I think I may go to Phillip Island instead.

I was suppose to race this year in AFM, I did a bunch of track days at ThunderHill and Infinion the last couple years. I was at the point where I could ride the pace of the top 10 guys in the supersport class, and everything was going good until someone robbed me. I walked outside one morning only to find my little trailer was gone, normally I don't have my equipment in there, but I was going to the Track that weekend so i left tools ($700+), two sets of racing slicks ($600), Front and rear stand ($300), leathers ($700), two Helmets ($575 + $350), plus 10 gallons of very expensive fuel. The one good thing was my track bike (GSXR600) was in the garage. But I wrecked that bike big time 3 weeks later at ThunderHill trying to get some laps on old tires in. Lowsided at about 90mph going into a corner too hot, the bike and I slid and slid and slid, until we hit the some nasty bumps in the dirt off the track that sent both the bike and myself through the air. I lived (broken bones in right hand, two cracked ribs, and a really sore knee), the bike was not so lucky.

Now I'm working my way back out of debt, to do it all over again. Just need to sell my street bike (CBR929) to buy another track bike.

Nice.. I have only ridden a lower cc suzuki katana for about 3 months (non competitive), was my friends and he knew i wanted a bike of my own, was very close to selling it to me but then he backed out. Oh well, at least I got some experiance out of it and a motorcycle liscense

I suggest getting a Kawisaki EX500 or a Suzuki SV650. They are both great starter bikes, and can be found cheap. Most people try to get a liter bike (1000cc) for their first bike, but the truth is you will never be a faster rider from learning on a 1000cc, than you would if you learn on a 250-600cc machine. It teaches you how to carry more corner speed. I use to pass so many people riding 1000cc bikes at the race track with a 600. Even on the straight aways since the 600 got into and out of corners quicker. By your self a SV650 and have a blast, I still beg my friend to let me ride his SV650 cause its such a hoot. Really smooth and tame torque and power, gives you so much confidence.

I'm actually thinking of buying a Suzuki SV-650 as my next track bike, so much cheaper, easy to work on, looks good with race plastics, easy on tires, and one of the easiest bikes to get into racing.

I don't really watch racing, but I always liked the idea of endurance races. 24 hours at Le Mans.

I'm a Porsche fan.

Nascar's lost a lot of it's appeal to me. Don't get me wrong, I still watch and like it and all. Since Dale, Sr's passed away...it's just not the same for me. Also, I am sick of seeing a gazillion Roush and Hendricks cars. Those guys don't race for their titles, they buy them. Their equipment and crews are all elite. The smaller guys don't have a very good chance at all. Nascar should mandate that everyone uses the exact same equipment(make, model, specs, the whole nine yards). It's more like RoushCar than NasCar anymore...kinda blows. I pretty much root for everyone that's not on one of those teams. Thank God that Smoke's been doing well this year.

i have never liked Nascar. to me the cars all look the same. they don't resemble the factory cars at all. its not like it used to be back in the 60's when guys actually started with cars that came from the factory. i do appreciate the technology that goes into them. to me they are just too perfect.
