I believe he drives a Chevy Corsica with more torque than our S2000...

As much as I don't get NASCAR and the draw of many cars going in circles, it appears to entertain a large amount of people, and that's the important part

By the end of this year I'll have the following done....

Monaco GP (technically the Historic GP, but just as cool!!)
Goodwood Festival of Speed
24 Hours of LeMans

Although, the Pebble Beach auto weekend (its really a week of activities if you know the right people) is the greatest week for a car enthusiast. I've been attending for several years and I volunteer to work the Concours and other events now - its alot of fun.

Any F1 race is worth going to see - IMHO - so I'll just say that I'd like to go to any 5 of them.

The fact I grew up watching NASCAR is one of the reasons why I like it so much. They run "door-to-door" (rubbin is racin, yeee haaa ) with each other and often times bump draft, things you don't see in formula one. I don't dislike F1, the technology and engineering in these cars is very impressive, especially when compared to Winston Cup cars. Pretty much anything is more technologically advanced than a NASCAR race car. And yes, the Corsica has more torque than "our" S2000 ( 80 less horsepower though ) , but don't forget I have a S2000 also and love it. There isn't another car in its price range I would trade it for! Maybe Honda could get the Accord into Winston cup racing!
