| 1286804 | 2012-07-09 08:21:00 | I object to the rates/tax payers having to invest in something which they will not get a dividend from. Don't tell me that Joe tax payer will get a rebate if the races do well. Besides which it will cause noise and pollution. What is so good about identical cars going round in circles consuming vast quantity's of fossil fuel? Its obsolete. Better to sit near the motorway, more variety and probably more accidents. | mzee (3324) | ||

| 1286812 | 2012-07-10 19:02:00 | There are 'E-Races' here too, and frankly it's kinda nice to take the vehicle out of the computation and let the racing skill fall onto the back of the drivers. There's a race (still? I dunnow) with identical Camaros - IROC I think - and it's telling who is the better driver if all the cars are identical and are drawn by lots from a pool as to which car - the red one - the blue one - the yellow one, etc., that the driver gets to run. Since my B/G dragster driving days are long gone, I'm outta the loop for reasons that make sense to me. But I'm all for it. |
