An arguement can be made any which way you want. You mentioned that you like NHRA/NIRA. Saying that Nascar drivers only drive in circles is like saying drag racers only drive in straight lines and that any idiot can jump in a TopFuel dragster and race it. As far as Nascar drivers being inbred hicks... even John Force has a mullet and an accent.

You are an idiot.

Pardon me, but fuck you. Yeah...I'm sure if someone handed me a Yugo when I was used to a Ferrari I'd probably have some trouble making it work. And you've completely missed the point of drag racing. I'm not a rabid fan (i.e. I'm not from the south), but I realize the differences. NHRA/NMRA/IHRA/etc. cars aren't limited to one engine, one setup, one transmission, one carb, one cam, etc. I could care less about the drivers and focus more on their combos and their times. NASCAR is now 80% white trash beauty pageant, 19% marketing, and 1% racing. And who cares about John Force? Fuck John Force. I'll lump him in with NASCAR drivers gladly. Besides, I like to focus more on classes with more open ended competition like NMRA's Pro 5.0 and Renegade classes. So many guys running different setups and power adders...it's all about your setup, not how lucky you get driving around an oval track (be still, my beating heart) and playing grab ass with a bunch of like-minded morons.
