Everybody likes racing, even if you have to be a participant instead of a spectator  :)

I like motorcycle racing the best. Those guys have so much skill it's freaky. F1 after that, followed by rally racing. Rally racing takes balls to do, I think. Sliding around corners with a cliff on one side and a rock wall on the other... Freaky.

1.  Motorcycle racing.
2.  Indy car but only because I thought Danica was hot, but I think someone else is way hotter now.
3.  NASCAR- but only because Tony Stewart is a family friend.

I am not really into racing of any sorts, honestly. Never have been.  However, I have watched monster truck racing once or twice with friends..its kinda cool to watch..motorcycle racing is OK too. But I don't really get into racing for the most part.  :dunno:

there is no such thing anymore as "motorcycle racing"  there's motoGP and there's dirt.  two completly different worlds.

crapcar, isn't racing. it's marketing for rednecks. in real racing you turn right and left.

drag racing,   my pee pee is smaller tan yours....

forulma 1  my wallet is bigger than yours.

indy.  wannabe forulma 1

rallys   that's whare a man and his machine are pitted against a man and his machine. the rest are just childs games involving money.

and I for one am personally insulted that you whould limit bikes to one catagory in the poll.

Amen!  For once I find myself agreeing with Davipu.  This is scary...   :lol:

I've never really seen the point in racing.  So you're faster than me or I'm faster than you.  So what?

Of course, I'm not much into the whole driving/riding thing anyhow.  I'd rather build it than race it.  With all the restrictions they have these days it really cramps creativity and originality.

Oh...  Wait a minute...  There is one kind of racing I like.  Reno unlimited power.   :mrgreen:



Every so often I hear NASCAR calling itself the "World's fastest motorsport."  They're about 4,000 HP and 350MPH short.   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

I watch too much racing on TV. I think for me it goes in the following order:
1. MotoGP or AMA road racing
2. WRC
3. NASCAR

What I can't watch is drag racing in any way. Just way too boring for me.

I watch a little bit of all of them...  NASCAR gets pretty boring after a short while...  Rally Racing and Moto keep my interest the longest.

Local conference racing, because I actually know the people involved and crew for a couple.  Otherwise - who the heck is that guy?

I do think Rossi is very cute and can ride like nobody else, but I sincerely doubt I'll ever meet the guy.

I can't watch any "drive fast, turn left" race on TV for more than 3 minutes or so.  While I appreciate that there's facinating strategy to NASCAR, Indy and the like, it just doesn't seem to translate to the broadcast, where they seem much more interested in sensationalizing the crashes. *shrug*

I'm a Formula 1 guy- although I do agree with Davidpu: It is a "My wallet is bigger than yours game". Another thing is that there is barely any passing; something they're looking into remedying by changing the aerodynamics rules this season- although they try to vamp it to allow more passing every season to no avail.

After that comes MotoGP, then WRC.

Nascar is quite possibly the worst racing I have ever even tried to watch. My clock sees more action than a nascar race.

Where's the 'I'd rather be racing' option?
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
