Maybe I should start watching Nascar, from what I see you seem to like that sport? All I know about NASCAR is what I saw on Days of Thunder.
Oh bro that would be the sweetest thing ever. you'd do that for me? a lot of people don't like it, it doesn't bother me, I like it.
At the most I have watched about 20min of NASCAR and I can't quite understand the appeal of it as they are just racing around a oval track. But I'm sure there is more technical detail to it than that. I see Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch have 9/2 odds on winning the Monster energy cup this year. You must be looking forward to the Daytona500 on 17 Feb?
Okay. You are Australian yes? I am European. Now Australians and Europeans don't get the appeal of NASCAR. Australians and Europeans rely on flashing LED lights and a lot of dials and spoilers and cars that are designed to what they do, that's what Australians and Europeans are used to racing. Cars built for racing. Okay now, picture a car that weighs almost twice as much as European sports cars, has smaller tyres, no wing, not even a speedometer. It has no muffler, no fancy electrics and it isn't designed to do what they want it to do. That's NASCAR. You gotta understand what you're looking at, you're right it all looks the same. 38 weeks of running around a circle. But every track is uniquely different and those cars are barrelling down into those corners at 330km/hr, they don't brake well, they don't steer well, the drivers tell you they feel like a bus. So you're hurling this overpowered, overheavy animal of a machine that does nothing you want it to do, and that's what you're watching and that's why it's so exciting because you've got 40 guys out there, they're all out of control and running inches from each other at speeds a Forumla 1 car rarely get to in their own long circuits. that's NASCAR. Days of Thunder is awesome, and if you can pick up the racing lingo movie, it's reads true. But if you don't get it just looks like idiots going around circles lol. I loved it before I even went to see it in person and holy shit, seeing it live literally blew my head off, just from the noise it was literally deafening. Also to give you an idea how complicated it is, nobody has ever come from Forunla one, Indy Car, V8 Supercars or any other catagory in the world and actually succeeded at NASCARs top level. Remember Marcos Ambrose? He went to America to race NASCAR at the peak of his success in the V8s and when he returned a decade later to race V8s again, he had to step away because he had forgotten how to drive the cars, the learning curve was so much harder because he spent 10 years racing nascar he just couldn't go back haha. And you know what he does now? He runs in an iRacing League online under a fake name, and do you know how I know that? Because I'm in the same league.
Nope I'm South African but I have a good idea what you are talking about regarding the V8 and formula1 racing as I have watched a couple of races when it is on our sports channel. Just you short explanation makes me understand the appeal of NASCAR. It's just not a sport that gets broadcated on our sports channels.
Lots of you from the "What's Happening?" thread and Lynn and ML, though they don't come in the thread.
thank you. i mean well. i wish i could remember that much about anyone. i mean which person which things about them go with. whenever i think i know something, it seems like it just keeps changing. which seems to me natural enough. its just trying to remember what things don't change and which person they go with. i have to plead guilty to all the things that don't interest me very much, and really sorry to not feel too much of a loss, to not feel more connected. trains, and other things that people make, of course imply people to make them, i know they're there, or that they have to be, yet when i walk through the world in my mind, or when i'm asleep and dreaming it, i experience a landscape, and these things, some from nature and some that people make, and these that don't have to be owned to exist or be imagined, these are what register in my mind. i know that there are people there, somewhere, living in things, making things. and i appreciate them and wish them to be happy, to be able to enjoy, all the creating and exploring, that none of us have to own, in order to do so.
i thank you also. yes, this is where my time goes, much of it. when there isn't someone there, which is most of time in my life, and that very much by my own choosing, this is what i do, as some people call living in my head, and trying to figure out how to illustrate these ideas that come to, that are not always better then someone else's, but that i put the time into figuring out, how we make our world, how it could leave fewer people out or hurt fewer, how people could still have what they enjoy without other people having to be deprived of what could give them gratification as well. and the environment, you know, that's what makes it possible for us to exist, but again its things not having to be owned, not having to be indentured to. that's what freedom would be, to be able to make things without having to indenture ourselves to anything to do so. to create and explore, without taking away for anyone else to be able to, and without anyone having to indenture themselves to do so.
Well there's a good reason for not nitpicking. As soon as you jump someone for something, others will go through your posts with a fine-toothed comb and drag out your mistakes for all to see. And you don't wanna be that guy . . . or gal.
actually i did. possibly i was being to subtle about it. the very furst line of my furst reply made note of it. it was actually the only thing that line was intentionally saying. lol. (and "now" i realize that's what you were doing and i didn't catch it at furst either.)
i like the taste of many butts. i nitpick quite a bit and nobody drags out my mistakes. i guess it's just because all my posts are perfect?
Not me. I like the taste of one butt at a time; one per sitting. Your just forchinate that yor posts are perfict. utherwize, eyed be aul over you like hair on a mammle (ecskluding wales and dullfins uv corse).
