It is dangerous..but I understand the sport..I think they need to have more  legal 1/4 mil tracks available for public use...

My god, I thought from reading the initial question you were in need of help after terrible, 'cursy' things have happened to you!\n\nCount yourself lucky that you consider a 'curse' being put in the last lane in track!

Yes. With the "Race to the Cup" for the top ten for one thing. When one position in points can mean hundreds of thousands of $, I feel sorry for the guy in eleventh place. Under the old rule 11Th place could possibly move up a couple of spots to 8Th or 9Th, maybe. And what are all these penalties for "non-approved" parts. These parts aren't illegal, just not from a supplier that has sucked up (payed off?) to NASCAR. Used to be you could run any part that conformed with the rules. It didn't matter if you built it yourself or bought it. And these young drivers, used to be that a driver had a few years of experience before moving up to NASCAR's big league. These new drivers are good, but inexperienced. And the new drivers all seem to fit the cookie cutter corporate image. They are good looking and articulate. A short guy like Cale Yarbourgh, or a driver that spoke like his mouth was full of marbles like Buddy Baker, or an ex-convict like Junior Johnson, wouldn't make it in today's corporate racing world. I think NASCAR should stop being such a glamor sport and go back to basics, go fast, turn left, and may the best driver/car win. I'm curious as to how many of these race fans are really fans. A lot of these people only watch racing on the TV or maybe attend a couple of NASCAR races a year. How many go to their local short track? Almost everyone in the contiental U.S. is within an hour's drive to a local track. These tracks offer about 4 hours or more of entertainment for under $15 on most nights. Whether the track is paved or dirt, running late models, open wheeled sprint cars or modifieds, you will probaly see some exciting racing. As I said before, let's get back to basics.

From what I recall, it started in the United States with youngsters doing Illegal Street racing at Traffic lights.... and it evolved into Drag racing after attempts to legalize it.\n\nYou'll find more about it on Wikipedia:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_racing

maybe in California, they have stricter emissions laws than anywhere else. I don't see them getting banned, but i do know that the new technology with 4-stroke dirtbikes is making the 2-strokes pretty much obsolete. If you watch supercross you'll notice there is only one team out of like 60 that is still running a 2-stroke. the rest are 4's.I personally like the top end power and sound of a 2 stroke better( i ride a CR250), but i have ridden a CRF450 and it was alot less tiring to ride so i can see why even the pros use them now. Anyway, with emission laws becoming stricter and stricter, it wouldn't surprise me if the 2-strokes do get banned sooner than later.  It will be a sad day for me when they do.

There are laws against mixing alcohol and driving automobiles, it is something that is generally frowned upon.  Actually they do use some Alcohol Mixed Fuel for racing it is used for speed and not for economy in fact it probably burns so hot and fast that it would get very poor mileage, but the question was worth putting out there as we can produce almost any amount of alcohol needed as a replenish-able fuel.

Not illegal, just childish. Unless they ask you to stop, then it becomes illegal.

Man people are clueless and ignorant, the question says NASCAR!  \n\nI think if a driver can't drive he should lose his points, not have a sub...how fair is that!?!?\n\nI also think they should give tougher penalties, as they are starting to now, on agressive driving...we don't need anymore deaths!  We have too many hotheads (Stewart, Kenseth, Busch brothers, etc.) they should be worrying about the most!\n\nFor the record:  How do any of us KNOW Johnson had a clue what Knaus did, Johnson may have he may not have, WE will never KNOW!  People need to get over it, he got penalized and is still winning, if they cheated anymore...they would've caught it as they did that time!

Wow.....just imagine that towing fee. I say nail it to the suckers!! (They do have suction cup hands and feet right?) Impound that vehicle and then make them appear in traffic court. Those aliens thought they had it bad when they came up against Sigourney Weaver. Well, they ain't seen nothin' 'til they come up against a southern style lawman /slash sheriff/ slash Judge!  \n\nJust a thought....... maybe THIS is what we can use the "EX" planet of Pluto for!! The IMPOUND parking lot!!! I'm brilliant......just bloody brilliant. Maybe Plutonians will be so glad to be  "a part" again that they'll even help discourage illegal allien visits. \n\nI love these thought provoking questions of yours! :)

Maybe NASCAR should ban cheaters from the Chase (like NCAA does with tournaments).

I am a NASCAR fan and I have no mullet nor does anyone I go to the Races with............\n\nAnd yes it is a total redneck sport and we do listen to country music..and some even drink Beer---Not me--But they do..It is wild towards the end of the race, but it is so much fun..\n\nYou should come and join in on the fun--you have no clue what you are missing..its not all about driving in an oval..its about the wrecks, the people, the music, the loudness....so come and join us..see for yourself..

I think they are sexy as hell! \n\nI have 4 friends that started a drag king troupe here and 2 of them are VERY VERY good.  One even won a pageant thing.  \n\nThey are hillarious to watch perform, and some of them come up with hillarious stage names.  \n\n\nOne of my friends did this one time, for example:  he came out in a cowboy/ country boy persona, and did that song "Her favorite color is chrome" and he pulled out this long silver vibrator out of his pants and was dancing with it and stuff..it was HILLARIOUS! The crowd loved it.

I'm not sure how you could ban them. You can put conditions on them, which I think they already do in most places. If they threaten the public they are supposed to back off. They can use helicopters to follow the car and radio the police so that they can try to apprehend the driver in a safer manner. I think really they have to look at the total picture to determine whether or not a car chase is safe or necessary. In some situations they might warrant the risk. In others, I think they create a very dangerous situation. But banned? No.

Modified exhaust is illegal...that is, when it increases the decibl level. \n\nMotorcycles are exempt.\n\nMuscle cars get pulled over just as much. You just happen to drive a Honda

i've been to that track plenty of times, and evern since i can remember they do it. they haven't always televised it in past years until recently. it's out of respect for it's friendly neighbors..\n \nthere is a larger numer of candian nascar fans than one would think.. a lot of them come to that race since they are right across the road. michiganders and candians (on hte border) have a pretty good relationship as they are so close and come and go.. it's like having a bigger state instead of looking at each othe from different countries..

Its not legal in any state, its done on 1/4 mile race cars for show only, on rocket cars , or hydrogen rocket cars,\nthe use a stainless steel ring fitted to the rear or the exh portion of the vehicle, with small holes around it, fitted with a pressure hose to a charged tank of gasoline and and igniters switch at the ring, called after burnner\nas the exh comes out the switch or valve is open they actvate the ignighter and with the exh coming out, it will throw a flame, this more complacated than you think, with all the saftey stuff i am skipping through. if its not for a show at a race track, dont even try it
