Woodtick Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 NASCAR is boring as fuck. The NFL is following the same path. All of the upper management cares about is selling commercials and licensed merchandise. Tons of empty seats in all professional sports. People may flip it on for a few minutes at home? Then go about their business for the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford_428cj Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 2 hours ago, Jimmy Snacks said: Like a lot of things the core older fans are dying off and younger fans aren’t taking their place. Going to race is pretty much a whole weekend deal and there are just too many other things to do on a summer weekend besides sweating your balls off in the grandstands of a Nascar Track. They are downsizing venues are far as seating is concerned and trying to reduce costs for drivers and fans alike...remains to be seen what will happen going forward. Night races would be awesome at MIS for the Aug race imo - too hot siting there baking for 3 hours. 1 hour ago, Jimmy Snacks said: We went to MIS two years in a row and had a bus in the infield....IIRC it was 2002-2003. Went down Wednesday night and came home Monday morning...what a fucking drunken weekend those were. 🤣 We used to go Sat night or Sun morn - was a lot of fun. 1 hour ago, Jimmy Snacks said: I agree and some tracks are just boring...MIS has become a fuel mileage race along with a few others like Fontana. Lose the plates, give back the HP on all tracks, reduce downforce and let the drivers drive the fucking things. Yup - mileage races are gay. Road race courses gay as well.

Any the reviews. Once something is challenged I just change the channel. That's 5+ minutes of my life I'm not going to get back and I could care less which way they decide it.

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted December 17, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 17, 2019 Daytona 500 because it’s the opener and the history is cool, Talladega because it’s the biggest track and produces some wild racing....I do enjoy road courses as well but even the Bristol night race which used to be an impossible ticket to get and produced some great racing has grown boring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roosting Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Imo the announcers they have now are garbage. Used to have a good group who could drum up the excitement, be informational and not sound like a bunch of retards that they have now. Good TV personalities make for a good show.

CKF was shocked i made it in. We were all shocked to see you make it to the top of the stands When the tail gating is the most fun part of the weekend it's time to stop paying $100 a person to do it 5 hours ago, steve from amherst said: Yep, I used to watch 5 football games a week.
