Pretty sad track prep is better for nascar than usac.

And as for sprint cars being gorgeous? I'd agree the cars from the 60's on back were pretty... But there is a place for them too...it's called a museum.
I'm gonna guess you've never been in a sprint car, especially at Eldora or you would have respect for anyone who has. Chill out dude, it's all good. Be happy that you can go to one of the greatest tracks in the country and watch anything.

I have respect for anyone that races, ANYTHING.
Broke more bones then most while racing, and I'm sick most days from a twice fractured neck. Earned every break too, not just given too me. Respect of the drivers has zero to do with it. What I don't respect is folks trying to tell me what to like after 50 years of being around and in races. I got a pretty good idea what works for me.
Its not all good, inless you have a weak mind and can except anything.
I am chill, doesn't mean my brain goes to sleep.
And yes Sprintcars are the last of the easy on the eye cars.
Why is it ok for you to like everything but not ok for me to dislike the same ? Hmmmm

How I long for the days of a big fat heavy cushion to watch DD-Hewitt or Haud bounce off of.

Could be Mother Nature's fault. Corn fields in the area were all brown, dry & dead....

^ I'd call that talking out of both sides of your mouth.
Sorry I hurt your feelings. Have a great day!
