Except for the Gearheads and FOX cramming this sport down our throats for the last 5-6 years, does anybody else think that these guys are prima donna wannabe atheletes? I fail to see the fascination. I think that you, me, or Joe Burger King could drive these cars quite effectively with some training and years in the driver's seat, but how many of us can hit a Major League curve ball or drop a double/double on the Cavs at the Garden? It seems very similar to a thoroughbred jockey, imho. The horse/car and crew do most of the work and the jockey/driver gets ALL the glory.

i'm with the good Professor and Mr Carlin on this one, it ain't racing unless bumpers are flying and paint is getting scraped off of somebody's side!!

All joking aside, what they do is nerve wracking and a huge adrenylin NUTT. Still, how hard is it to turn left all day and fly down those perfect tracs?

HEY!! I commute to and from Boston, everyday
