Yup. That would get me watching NASCAR. Big Grin

I dunno, I don't watch NASCAR at all, I wonder if I could even pick her out of a lineup of 5 NASCAR drivers in full gear and helmets.

Now, if they actually drove STOCK cars, then I might watch - I'd much rather watch a group of just off the assembly line Mustangs, Corvettes, Challengers, and for fun some off-shore contenders like Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Kia, Toyota, Nissan, Audi, Hyundai ... hang on, I think I smell a script for a Top Gear episode!

And wouldn't pit stops be more fun when the guys with 4 lug nuts get back out there 20% faster than the guys with 5, or just imagine the work of the commentators who have to make it interesting to watch the gal in the electric car who's stopped for a 2-hour recharge? OK, maybe that would get boring, but as long as the occasional transmission blew, throttle pedal got stuck, indicator stopped working, or exotic caught fire (and no one gets hurt), I'd much rather see a true competition between manufacturers product offerings. THAT would be more enjoyable to me than watching a bunch of custom built tube frames with fake bodies that have more stickers than aunt Bessy's Winnebago on it's eighth cross-country tour to see county fairs, music festivals and giant fiberglass geese, bulls and dinosaurs!

... of course after three or four races with an A8 or GTR winning every time, most teams would probably pack up the whole show and go home, then the boys and girls with all the bumper stickers would be back at it ... any one for a deep fried Turkey Drumstick?
