TV got too good. The coverage, listening to Crew Chief/Driver comms, replay, the ability to see the entire track...

This is going to happen to most live sports as ticket prices soar. I won't even go see the Steelers play in Nashville every couple of years, it costs $75 for shitty tickets. I can see everything on TV.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I'm not into this sort of thing anyway, but if I was, I would much rather watch normal cars go at it than super pumped ones.

That's essentially a showroom stock ----errr...."normal car"....series. It's pretty good.

I wouldn't have expected you to know. It's one of those support series. They run, I think, on IMSA Weathertech GT weekends. The lower category has Ford Fiestas and Honda Fits and other such cars. Not so glamorous, but I think they've used Indy's road course.

I'd rather watch naked women wrestle in mud than watch cars.

That's an option? But why bring mud into it?
