Like CCWS & IRL aren't spec series? At least in Nascar most teams build
their own cars & engines.

Good 'ol boys? You do realize that in 2007 there were no winning drivers
from any deep south states, and only a couple from states considered
"southern" at all.

Obnoxious? I agree that they are too big and heavy for road courses, not
to
mention too ugly for anything but radio, but how bad can it be if you've
been watching for "years"?

Plenty of them GOB's get punted out of the lead just like the road racing
specialists. But that doesn't sup****t your contention now, does it?

Of course its a show. It's supposed to be entertaining, isn't it? And of
course they're all about the money. Not every racing series in the US has
to
survive by the pockets of rich men.

Wow. You're really a hater, aren't you?
