I agree. You can only watch them make 267 left turns so many times without wanting to hang yourself. I went to the first two at Chicagoland Speedway, and it is different in person, but I would not go again even if I got free tickets.

Drag racing is totally different. It is rarely the same matchup, and there is always a different outcome. Much more interesting to me. But to each his own.

Hi Jim

Drag racing is good for those of us with short attention spans and the need for immediate gratification. That would definitely be me. Yo, Matt!
