I think Vinc...This is my third post on this thread. I think Vince (10:45 am) did a nice job of summarizing the feelings of a lot of us old timers. My comments have been on the technical side. One factor that drives the costs of Nascar equipment is that the quantities to be used is very low. The development costs have to be amortized over a very small number of cars and teams. With the EFI system, the fuel mapping software and computer is very complex and expensive to develop. You have roughly 40 teams using it. How many EFI systems will be in existence a year from now?? 200? 300? That's why this stuff is so frikin' expensive. I saw on a News website where Nascar is taking bows for all their 'Green' iniatives. Just great. Nascar really has its thumb on the Sport, doesn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-74705572882203952672011-11-18T18:08:18.371-05:002011-11-18T18:08:18.371-05:00With Truck qualifying rained out, the lineup is se...With Truck qualifying rained out, the lineup is set by the new, confusing rules.

Driver should be allowed to speak their minds, this is America for crying out loud! Plus, the scripted babble at the end of each race is ridiculous. <br /><br />ESPN's coverage is horrible, and maybe by reading comments on this blog ESPN will make some changes. Who knows? Does ESPN really care? I hope so. <br /><br />The really sad part is that instead of keeping the fans Nascar has, and adding to the fan base, they are losing loyal race fans daily. Race fans spend alot of money at a Nascar race. We, the fans, invest in Nascar by attending the races.<br /><br />The Waltrip's, what can I say? Do I want to listen to them all weekend, NO! Irritating doesn't begin to describe my emotions regarding them in the broadcast booth.<br /><br />On the positive side, we have a race to watch this weekend! Excluding all the negative stuff, we get to go racing! And that, makes me smile!<br /><br />Enjoy the weekend race fans!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-89170560757737361652011-11-18T16:22:08.972-05:002011-11-18T16:22:08.972-05:00ESPN's resident drama queen Jamie Little passi...ESPN's resident drama queen Jamie Little passing off news as "breaking" when it's been reported for weeks.
