quade 4 #12 April 17, 2010 QuoteDon't get it. It's 43 people encased in 3450 pound robots that bash into each other at 180ish mph and occasionally into walls where the drivers can walk away unharmed. It's simultaneously immediately relatable by most people because almost every adult in the US drives a car, yet is almost unbelievable since most of the cars people drive would end up killing them if driven in anywhere near the speeds, proximities and g-forces these drivers do. It's a technological battle of wits, strategy and tactics beyond the comprehension of most, yet is amazingly easy to relate to and understand by the concept of "go fast and turn left." People look down on it for being "boring" yet I don't know a single person that would turn down the chance to get on the track and turn a single lap at +150 mph.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The skydive thing is fairly understandable. Most people have absolutely nothing to compare that to, whereas most people in the US over the age of 16 have at least driven a car. Certainly 99.9% of them have at least ridden in one.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need to work on your aim.I think a lot of Nascar's popularity is due to the personalities involved, and the fans' identification with the drivers. I like various auto racing sports, but rarely watch it on TV. It's a hell of a spectacle when you see it live, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LongWayToFall 0 #23 April 17, 2010 If, for only one or 2 moments during a bowling match, the balls started being thrown at the players and total mayhem ensued, it might be worth watching... Same reason most people watch, the crashes man! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
