Ever think its funny how our "Dumb rednecks" make state of the art tube framed 700 hp race cars... for fun?

I wonder how many people who i see laugh at them have trouble understanding how the knot in their sneaker works.

Shhhh.... you'll ruin the inside joke.

Even better is the technology that goes into building a monster truck. Really. Google the specs.

now that is funny...

and I do not mean to completely denigrate Nascar.. It's all in good fun. I appreciate the cars for what they are and the technology is astounding. I do believe they are bleeding edge old tech though...

well cant blame the rules on them.

The cars still make monster power for long periods of time... And the bodies are pretty SOA, no?

All in good fun. But pushrods are newer tech than OHC. And carbs are a different tech than EFi, but they can still be state of the art in their latest forms.

oh, NASCAR does have races that turn both ways, and has for decades. And the guys that "only turn left" seem to be pretty good at turning both directions...
