At risk of starting yet another well-off-Triumph-racing-topics thread, I
agree. Frankly, NASCAR was a lot more interesting when the cars were somewhat
more closely based on the actual production cars AND when you could actually
see that car instead of a rolling billboard for (insert favorite products by
the 100s here).
It's the marketing types that have ruined it, I tell you! :-) (That's sure
to raise at least one set of eyebrows on this list!)
Call me naive and old-fashioned, but I also like racing better when the
drivers are at least SOMEWHAT likely to be a determining factor in the
outcome.
That's all I'll say. It's my opinion, and you can't change it, so don't try!
