Default RE: Challengers in NASCAR


ORIGINAL: RoswellGrey

Yeah, RLSH. I like that kind of racing a lot better than NASCAR.

Oh...back in the mid-1970s, a buddy and I used to go to the races that were held every Saturday night during the summer at the Iowa State Fairgrounds (one could pay 50 cents for a seat in front of the grandstand then sneak up to a better seat as soon as the races started). Most of the cars they were using were early-70s Camaros and Chargers. There was one guy, though, who raced each week with a 1957 Plymouth. It was a tank and invariably came in dead last in whatever 10-lap heat race it was in, thereby never making the 25-lap main event. But it was still cool seeing that 57 out there week after week.
With something like this, there are far more surprises and room for error and for potentially superior cars. This to me would feel more realistic than NASCAR. It feels way to manufactured to be true Stock Car Racing.
