You did not see the race where 7 laps down car Kevin Lepage ruined the win for Jimmie Johnson.

Yes I did.

Quote from lizardfolk :
Road courses in nascar happen only 2 races.

Again, WRONG! (Not really a sentance either btw.)


Quote from lizardfolk :
At Infinion, and Watkins Glen. That's it. 2 out of 35 races is really nothing special. (This is Nextel only, I dont watch Busch so I dont know their schedual, but I believe they add another road course: Mexico City)

2 Nextel Cup races, yes. But How does 2 out of 35 = 'really nothing special'? Isn't that a little backwards?
Quote from srdsprinter :
All cars don't matter in NASCAR. In the Busch Series, Truck Series, and other regional circuits, many many cars don't finish the race, and not because of crashes. Lesser funded teams in Busch will qualify, race a couple of laps, then pull off with "handling issues" just to collect the last place money. The Truck series usually only has 25-35 trucks per race, many without major sponsorship. And I suppose all the cars that DNF for mechanical and crashes really impact the remaining cars.

Actually NASCAR competes on road courses across the country and beyond. Did you miss Montoya taking the Busch racers to school in Mexico City, Mexico?

The truck series almost always has a full field of 36 trucks, and less cars DNF than you would make seem.(Excluding TalladegaSmile )

Montoya did have newer tires at the end of the Mexico race, though he was one of the fastest cars all day.
Actually, I Just looked at the past 6 Truck races, 3 this year, and the last 3 from 06.

Only Half of the past 6 have had full 36 starters, and only 1 this year. So no, not "almost all" races are full.

Plus I did a little game of how many trucks did less than 10 laps.
2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, including one who didn't even start. Notice a pattern?

I also looked at the races you quoted, and there was no truck who didn't even start.
You might be refering to Mike Wallace, who was wrecked during the second lap of this years Daytona race.

And, of the 9 trucks that didn't run 10 laps, i counted 5 or 6 that had legitamite problems.

And i never said all races were full, i said almost all. and if you look at 2006, almost all were full. Actually, all but 1.Smile
I'm from europe, netherlands. I watch NASCAR, i watch WRC, i watch F1 and i watch A1GP. All of them i find very exciting forms of motorsports. Every branch of motorsports has there own excitiment.

NASCAR:
The close racing and constantly fighting and struggling to hang on. ( what i find very awesome )

WRC:
Excitiment from going so fast through such small areas. ( i would kill myself there for sureRazz )

F1:
It's the best enginering and driver skill what makes it happen there. You can guess who is gonna win the race usually before it even starts. But this shows who is faster and more stable on the track. Less fighting but once a 1on1 battle starts it's really exciting to look at. These cars blow through corners.

A1GP:
All cars have the same enginering so all that it comes down to is driver skill. ( they can use there own setups and stuff but still ) It's always a suprise who is gonna win this just like NASCAR. Well currently germany is winning allot but that just proves germany is the best out there due to the same kinda enginering.

I think LFS should appeal to ALL people. If you like road courses fine. Just don't touch oval then. If you like oval courses and oval cars fine. Just don't touch road courses then. I don't think it will hurt road course racers to have a extra track+car. It only improves the game and attracts more racers. Soon they will also wanna try the rest of the game. Why shouldn't it be possible to combine both those things in LFS? I think it would be great to get such a addition to this game. I would definitly drive NASCAR in this game also. At least better then driving around a 'not so very good' good oval track with a F1 car... it isn't made for it.

My regards,

Tom
