| The Conversation Pit This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it! |

That would be something to see. If the government stepped in and took over the NASCAR teams. Wonder if its allowable to do a pit stop in under 15 seconds. Then the driver would have to take breaks every so often.
Haha LOL!!! Lars

Well I am not here to tell historical factoids but NASCAR's origination actually came from government intervention also. Prohibition started people modifying their vehicles to run moonshine. They did this to out run the law and were quite successful as long as they didn't wreck or get caught in roadblocks or raids. As prohibition ended the shine runners started to race each other for bragging rights. Bill France Sr monoplized and organized this and the rest is history.

So instead of Race Day being on Sunday, they should stagger it through the regular work week. Are there any government agencies that work on Sunday?
...don't forget water coolers in all the pit stalls too...

I'm just afraid this is what we may be in for..... as if NASCAR hasn't been becoming kind of lame itself.

Yes, I agree NASCAR is becoming a little bit more ho-hum these days. No more contriversy or soap operas. Let's all face it NASCAR is a luxury sport. Every race I have ever gone to has always been $250+. Add in the fam in the last 5 years and its over $2000+. Football, baseball, and hockey will feel the economy leaness also. The other thing is I never understood is at these events is why do beer, pop, and food cost so much? Heck they are sponsoring some component of the race, give it away for promos. Lars
