How long until guys using terms like "NA$CRAP" realize that telling the same joke 7,000 times makes it a lot less funny each time?

You know what? If Infineon had a NASCAR track, and I had the choice of watching those cars on the roundy-round versus staying in one spot on the the road course...... I might take the oval track. Why? because from a strictly spectator perspective I can see most all of the race as it happens, rather than seeing guys for 10 seconds of each 90. As a participant, give me a road course any day. But as a spectator sport, I entirely understand why NASCAR is more popular. Wasting one's breath hating on the other guys is trully silly.

I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned the trouble of making an IRS work correctly on a 30 degree superspeedway banked turn. An IRS set up for good camber gain in compression on a flat track would have some issues when the downforce shifts around as much as it does on a superspeedway.
As long as the road is smooth and the additional unsprung weight of the diff is not of concern to the chassis design then there are some real advantages to a live axle when it comes time to get on the power exiting a turn. You can get over 100% anti-squat out of it and only maybe 25% from IRS - not to mention that if you only turn one direction they are easy to set up with offset.
EDIT: in bold
I am pretty sure you can get more then 25% anti-squat out of an IRS.

I just want to say that it isn't technology or money that makes good racing. I'd think I'd hear "obviously" a hundred times, but I have to stop and think every time "the technology" is brought up as a reason why a certain series is inferior.
