Cool... where?

I went to a race at Pocono in PA a couple years ago, It was fun. Different atmosphere than I'm used to though, I grew up going to the smaller dirt tracks where these cars race 800 - 900 hp in a 1200# car on a dirt track = fun to watch.

Brooklyn, Michigan....MIS

It was okay....watching the race was pretty boring. They had a "3M Auto Fair", which had a 69 hurst olds and a 63 F85 there. The Summer School Chevelle was also there, which they used as a pace car...kind of interesting (the show car my school [washtenaw community college] did for GM). Jets flying over were cool...had some really loud fireworks during the national anthem too, woke me up. :lol:

Yeah, nascar is cool, but slightly boring watching them loop the track over and over. Cars are too reliable!

I LOVE stock car races on a dirt track. Much more action, accidents, vehicle problems. Thats what makes it interesting for me, watching a guy finish a race in reverse, cause his trans quit, just to cross the finish line.

Meh, I used to be into Nascar, but found it boring. I love dirt track and rally racing. Whats fun is going around a dirt track in a car you don't own and just have fun. Done it a couple times.
