To compare different types of racing to each other is like comparing apples to oranges....
nascar does get stale to me...seems that the only thing that ever changes is the driver and sponsors...
too much handicapping on HP, and the sport has grown so far away from its roots, it needs a new title. Same goes with top fuel,
the drivers are overpaid, and the cars are so far away from real cars...
Fuel cars are ran by computers..a comotose monkey can drive one.. (300+ mph would still be a blast)
(my automotive training came from a former Penzoil pro stock crew chief....)
Drivers that get flown in just to drive, and fly back to their mansion afterwards drive me crazy...
The real racers (any form) are the guys pushing the car into the trailer, and helping patch it back together afterwards...
(Sill a big Ken Schrader fan, I met him many times since I was a kid, and spent alot of weekends in his pits in my youth...used to chat with him on the phone about twice a week while I was turning wrenches for a personal friend of his...GREAT GUY!)
F1 is wicked! those cars are jets without wings...
Baja is the racing I would do if I had the opportunity...just crossing the finish line is a win in its own right, and is probably the only racing that pushes the driver as hard as the vehicle...
My $0.02
