> [@Shaggy](#): > > Shame on myself. Did not pick up on your context of the post. :danny: Didn’t see your edit. And no way would I take it back. Nascar is archaic, aside from safety regs it is a non-evolving series. I’ll agree that it’s moderately impressive in person, as I have been to a few, but frankly you can get shitfaced at any racing event where the speed are high and it’s the exact same thing. I was making the point that european/asian manufacturers have an infinitely deep reservoir of racing engineering…and it’s just like a mouth-breathing cretin to say Toyota has no place in Nascar. Why is that exactly? Is it because they broke into the ol’ boys club and did extremely well using carb technology that they hadn’t raced with since the 70’s? Is it because a subset of americans hold onto Nascar like it’s the last fucking bastion of motorsports, and being themselves ignorant of what kinds of racing led to Nascar? Or is it the multitudes of different racing series across the globe that is somehow unfoundedly inferior to Nascar? What exacly is the argument. Your point about drivers coming into Nascar, and not dominating, is somewhat vaild…but sketchy data at best. the really good drivers out there are doing shit like WRC, Touring Car, and the paths that lead to Formula. The only reason guys move from that arena to try out Nascar isn’t the challenge…it’s the money, and you’re aren’t dumb enough to not see that. :oj: ---

Who cares? None of us are driving NASCARs last time I checked… Even if I do pretend to be Dale Earnhart during my morning commute sometimes. But let’s keep that between us. ---
