I think we should force them to learn to turn to the right.

HAHA!

My friend once dated a guy that drove racecars. We used to tease her that it took him forever to get anywhere cause he only knew how to make left turns

NASCAR

Quit the NASCAR bashing. It is enjoyable because it is the only racing sport that relies solely on driver skill. The engines in the cars have such rigid restrictions on them that a driver can't get by simply having a better car. If you haven't watched a race from flag to flag you shouldn't be slamming it.

It must be my ADD, but I flip it on and watch about 2 laps and get bored out of my mind.

While Im not a huge fan of NASCAR, it is fun to watch. However, if you cant watch it on tv, put on some jeans and a t-shirt and go to a race. Its a helluva lot of fun.

Wait a minute - jeans and a T-shirt? Don't ladies dress up for NASCAR like they do for football?

I'm sure it's still made from an oil base, otherwise we would start using whatever they do as an alternative fuel source.
HOLY FRICKING CRAP.

The most interesting part of this thread is discovering that North Face is a name brand.

Also, my fiancé used to drive NASCAR in Watkins Glen, NY and some place in Connecticut so it's not just a Southern thing although it is kinda redneck. He drove with Paul Newman so that makes it cool.

By the way, this picture looks photoshopped. The original - which could be found on the official UK Athletic website - wasn't as grainy or fake looking.

Yeah. It was photoshoped. For some reason the original picture couldn't show up on here. So I found another one, an d post it instead.


TSteven. Don't worry. I think everyone gets the Dick Vitale reference. But you know the girl intended for the double meaning.
