Rumble Seat #2 Going around in circles....

I was sitting at the blue bonnet bar one afternoon when this came on the tv....i love it

Stock Car racing is not my favorite sport but I do like the crashes, who doesnt ok maybe the driver doesnt. The word stock in stock car is a misnomer. Stock car racing used to mean cars off the lot souped up and sent out to race not the funny cars they got racing now. Here is what wikipedia has to say about stock cars history.

Before NASCAR was founded in 1948, moonshine runners during the prohibition era would often have to outrun the authorities. To do so, they had to upgrade their vehicles and eventually started getting together with fellow runners and making runs together. They would challenge one another and eventually progressed to organized events in the early 1930s. The main problem racing faced was the lack of a unified set of rules among the different tracks. The racers could not race at different tracks because it was not legal for them to race there. When Bill France saw this problem he set up a meeting at the Streamline Hotel in order to form an organization that would unify the rules From this meeting NASCAR was founded in 1948.

Watching guys go around in circles can be boring but why not make it two circles and meet in the middle and you got Figure 8 racing. Its the damdest thing to watch cars hurtle into each other like mario kart and the best thing is you can call the cars stock cars. They even got figure 8 bus races and trailer races, all they need is a rainbow track.
