Watch a Nascar race sometime. I have been on this. They do 3 and 4 commercials per break. Never less than 2 are for drugs. 2 of 3 or 3 of 4. The other commercial will open with a black person or mixed race marriage. Every break is the same pattern. Sick white people needing drugs and black husband's buying cars.
@AlextheAdm1ral It was just cars passing by every 2 or 3 seconds single file in one big circle. That wasn't "more" racing. It was boring and why fans go once and are good. They don't go back.
Shorten it up, everybody wins. Let the couch potatoes cry.
Dude. Nobody pays by the lap. Fans would feel like they were getting more if the race would end sooner and they can get on the road home at a reasonable hour.
WAY more fans feel jipped because they can't stay till the finish because they have been at the track since 8-10am and have tonleave to get home. They got 2hrs in lot traffic, then a 4 to 5hr drive home so they leave early by the thousands.
More people would go if it could get done earlier. Shorter race would have more action and be more exciting.
We don't pay by how long it is. Look at NFL tickets for 60mins.
Most fans are suffering through the middle of races wishing there was 50 to go when there is still 150, and cars are just passing by one at a time every 2 to 3 seconds. Kids are crying to go home. Boring AF.
@Kevin_McAdams If races were 2.5hrs, the stands may just fill up again.
The couch potatoes can cry about it. The people who have shit to do, like be outaide on summer Sundays and not parked in front of a TV for 5hrs would also love it.
This is 💯 again.
"Veiwership is down! Nascar sucks!"
Or...
People have shit to do on sunny summer Sundays and don't want to dedicate the day to the TV fuxktard.
That late race on Sunday was awesome. Gor my days worth of errands and chores, the beach done. Then when it was time to shut it down, a race was starting. Perfect!
@philenespanol Just think the option all the way through. Consider every aspect and then form it. Most people think only of themselves and their wants because it works for them, excluding the untold amount of whatever that makes something happen.
"Covered" as a journalist? LOL.
So you're there working hard out in the elements when the garage opens at 6a till hours past the finish, like the people I'm talking about right. Working like the EMS and Track staff. You skipped right past that part.
(I do 5 to 6 Nascar races a season. Check my timeline for all the dirt around the Nation I do and just finished my 18th straight Mon to Mon Speedweek infield.) That's why I'm speaking for the people you are so liberal with their time and labor.
How many races do you attend?
Do you have the experience of being at the track from 6am till 8 or 9pm? ...speaking of endurance.
Are you thinking about the EMS staff and police? The track staff? The officials? The pit crews? The fans who have 4 and 5 hrs drives home.
Easy to speak about endurance when it's viewed only from the couch and TV remote. Fuxk all the people at the track sitting there or making the show happen right?
@Wonderful_Chip Notice everyone ripping on you speaks from their couch and clearly don't attend the races and put up. If they actually went to races they'd sing a different tune.
Did you attend them?
Sitting in an uncomfortable seat for 6hrs (prerace) baking in the sun or being wet. Looking at a 4 or 5hr drive home at night. Kids are exhausted and ready to go. Older folk ha e to leave. The sickly and obese can't make it either.
Easy to want from the couch. The atbtrack experience is grueling doe most. That's why most people go once and are good with it. Watching a car pass by every 2 or 3 seconds. Trying to find the leader as they have lapped 20 cars or more. All the cars running one line, maybe an occasional pass.
Sitting there through that sucks ass. Shorten it up and the seats may fill back up.
