I too have quit attending the Nationals and most any winged race. The reason being is the same for why I do not attend Indy Car, NASCAR or other so-called top tier racing series: the technology particularly in tires and aerodynamics have greatly increased speed to the detriment of actual competition. NASCAR is continually looking for ways to quote "make racing more entertaining", which is market speak for how do we get someone to pass another car without a double file restart, or any of their other gimmicks. IMHO when you combine the technology elephant in the room along with our penchant to value marketing hype over actual substance, and a growing number of fans who feel the event is more important than the actual competition you have a witch's brew that does not serve sprint car racing well. I long for the days when terms like "rubber down" and "disturbed air" were not a part of racing lexicon. I think I will be able to find this open wheel Nirvana at Smackdown!
