AMEN Old Road... Same boring cars, same boring drive in a flattened circle. The guy in front at the beginning is usually the guy in front at the end. Oh Boy, how exciting (NOT!)! Ever since I got the chance to drive a NASCAR car at MIS, and I realized how stoopid at all was with everyone essentially driving the same car", I haven't been able to stomach watching a whole race again (since our cars were governed to @145MPH, it was essentially the same thing as a real NASCAR race but at @60-70MPH slower speed is all). Give me back the old days when "you race what you brought". Whatever engine could be stuffed into the chassis by the factory could be raced, but of course they would be "built" for max horsepower beforehand of course. Acid dip the body panels to make the cars lighter, hide fuel in the big-ass rear bumpers, "cheat" to win (within reason) and drivers with HUGE cajones to take those cars well past what ANY engineer in Detroit could have ever imagined would be possible. THAT WAS RACING!!! Today, they will "restrict" your car if you have too much of an advantage. Today, it's more like whorespower they develop, not HORSEPOWER, because all they are concerned about is the mighty buck$. No more Ford vs. Chevy vs. Mopar vs. whoever. Today, driving in NASCAR is like working a dead end office job, but at speed; "OK Mr. Driver, get into your little cubicle which is exactly like the cubical next to you and drive around the track for a while. Don't get too excited though because we're still waiting for the man in the sky-box upstairs to tell us who gets to win the race this weekend"....
