Thread: Modern Drag Racing Boring, Boring, Boring or is it just me?

What is really a joke is that when the TV reporter interviews the winning driver after the run the guy has to put on his sponsors ball cap and then say "Yep Glenn, this little Pepsi Cola, Tampon, Dawn Dish Detergent, Cheerios, Shamwow, Dirt Devil, Ebay, WalMart Ford really performed well on that last run! " How much more commercialism can one person stand?

No kidding. I really don't understand how that's supposed to entertain me enough to go buy the product or a T-shirt for the GOOD OF THE TEAM. Now if the driver has a cool nickname like "The Snake" or something and talks a little trash about the other driver (all in fun of course), that might get me onboard with the sponsors product.

Local track - Lebanon Valley Speedway. Every year they have a bunch of "nostalgia" cars along with their regular show plus a swap meet/car show. Even their regular cars have become boring. 322 Novas, 17 Dusters, 2 Mustangs and 1 of some other brand seems to be the norm. The nostalgia cars so far have been a few guys flogging their street rod. Can I say watching paint dry for a spectator is as much or more fun?

Should I bring up NA$CAR or will I just be ignored??
