Anyone watch Driving Force on A&E tonight? John Force is the man... Nascar racing doesn't hold a candle to what this man has done! It will be on again next week and i will be watching!
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

I'm glad some people here appreciate NHRA... It makes nascar look like lawnmower races...

I lost a lot of respect for him after watching the show. What a terrible father.

You would have never had though racing meant so much to one guy but he is married but hasn't lived with his wife for 7 years because of his passion for racing. I would say he's not the best dad but he is a true racer.

Watching Drag Raceing is like watching golf, like to do both but a waist of time to watch on TV. Now if you want to go watch it live I'm in, same goes for nascar.

Brian, Your right on that one... nothing like hearing and feeling a top fuel car go down the track. I am not a bracket racing fan... i like heads up racing.

Drag racing is cool but untill youve seen a 410 winged sprinter on dirt you havent seen the best racing there is!

Now you are talking Brandon. 410's rule, too bad the WoO split. Guess they didn't learn a lesson from IRL/CART.
Hard to to beat NHRA live as well.

Sprinters dont have windshields. But you are rite its alot more fun behind the wheel. But I sugest to anyone in to motorsports if you have a chance to se a sprinter run go! you wont be disapointed.

We all have our favorite forms of racing. Sprints are fun to watch but its dirt late models that do it for me! This is my 42nd year as a fan or participant in stock car racing. I've crewed for some great drivers, sponsored a car and did a little driving myself.And yes, its much more fun when you're behind the wheel!!!!! These days I'm just a fan, and I'm involved a little bit on the promotion side of things. Racing has lost 43 tracks last year and 18 more so far this year. The important thing is to get out and support the weekly tracks!
