Say, have you ever watched the British touring car races?
Bobs: I don't get the popularity either, but I think NASCAR is starting to see that they need to run road courses to make it more interesting. Last season they ran Mexico City and Watkins Glen. This year they added Infineon Raceway (Sears Point). It's funny that Boris Said (road racer extraordinaire) always has a ride from a team when NASCAR runs a road course.
I love the British Touring Car Series... Now that's driving... I'm not really happy with 4 door touring cars, but the races are terrific. Especially when they're in the middle of a rain storm !!!
AND AS YOU SAY, THOSE FART CAN RICERS... LOL
