Default Nascar trying to turn right (and brake and shift and follow more than 1 line, and...)

Saw this on another forum and thought I would share.
Nascar is the win

Approximately half of the race was run under yellow and there were even two red flags thrown for good measure. These cars all finished except for the one that decided to catch fire during a spin.

Yeah, I went out to lunch with the family the other day and some Nascar or equivalent was on tv, running a Road Course. Every time I looked up somebody had crashed on a right turn, rofl

that's not real NASCAR though

Watch the Nextel Cup on some road courses. That's fun as hell to watch.

I was watching nascar on a road course like a week ago and those ************* couldn't keep it on the track. They were constantly hitting each other and going through the grass and **** to avoid an accident. I thought it was funny.

First Busch inst all the Nascar drivers. So there isnt as good of drivers. Second would like to see someone from here, get into a Nascar and drive better then one of them. You wont. I really dont like Nascar. But i just always love to see people bash there driving skill. When they more then likely couldnt do it themselves.

that and those cars are built from the ground up to serve high speed straights and left turns. The chassis is tuned for it. Then you try to quickly reset it to turn right...it aint gonna happen correctly.

but yeah, nascar does suck lol. I hate how they've gotten away from the nascar of the 60's where you bought the car off the showroom floor, retuned it, tossed in a cage, and went racing on the track.

This is a valid point, poorly presented.
They would probably drive just as well as you can type grammatically correct.

That picture reminds me of the police around my area, nothing better to do then sit around and talk and pull people over for stupid reasons. Maybe I should increase the drug traffic in my area... hmm

you guys act like despite driving in circles, going 200mph inches away from other racers and constantly making contact with them is an easy thing to do. get a ******* clue.

sure, it might be boring to watch, but so is soccer. and I am sure soccer is fun and challenging to play.
