IROC used to be awesome, they drove 911 GT3's at one point in the 70's.

Well if a golf course would be more profitable than running smaller events you've either got a very profitable golf course or a very badly organised race track!

It's a very nice golf course and does host a PGA event, but it's not that nice.

Almost like Indy itself. Very nice, and it hosts (or rather, used to host) a Formula One race, but it's not that nice.

Duke what is this issue you have with NASCAR?

The fact that it's run by the same sort of retired brain donors as F1 who, for example, docked points for a hand gesture out of a car in practice. Stupid. If it was done in the BTCC or F1 or any other series they wouldn't go down the points deduction route for something as stupidly minor.

So, to sum up, your complete hate for nascar is because somebody got a couple of points taken off for giving the bird?

The fact is that NASCAR exists in a country (and largely caters to a specific stripe of citizens of that country) who are extremely uptight about morality (at least on the surface), and thus NASCAR is very uptight about anything that might tarnish its family-friendly image. And that's to say nothing of the penalties that the FCC will hand down to the broadcasters and potentially to NASCAR itself. The stunned silence from the FOX/TNT broadcast crew when a driver lets an f-bomb drop on the radio is hilarious, but you can really feel the fear hanging in the silence.
