Did you see what that guy said about the indy 500 time trials? that guy with ear lobes so sagging i thought he was wearing ear rings?
he said it shouldnt be televised. he said if he wants to see fast cars he can look outside his window
what an idiot
first off if your not a race fan you will find any part of racing interesting. i am sick of non race fans trashing auto racing. what if some one doesnt like baseball? is it ok for them to say "oh i dont want to see grown men swat balls and i pay money to applaud" you have to understand the sport which this guy obvilously dont
first off you have to have a favorite driver. i was waiting for michael andretti to qualify while watching the others go for the pole and yes i watched all 5 hours of qualifying coverage.
bump day will be even more exciting with only 8-10 slots left and 15 cars yet to qualify. obvilously this guy doesnt know the excitment of qualifying for indy and he thinks because he dont like it no one else does.
i know i probably didnt do too good of a job defending time trials because i am not good with words and am rushing this i will probably post more in a bit...

:o
I\'d rather watch paint dry than watch the indy 500. Racing like that is simply the most boring sport I can think of.

so what is your favorite sport? (cant wait to bash)
-
Ultimate Frisbee :)
But to watch...any of the big 4 will do nicely.
-
ill start with baseball
IT IS BORING!
Racing is constant action.
Base ball is soooooooo slow.
Tell me which is more exciting, cars traveling at 240 mph seperated by inches or watching grown men swat balls?
-
Plz, the only kind of racing fun to watch is **** like rallys, well anything besides oval racing. And baseball is fun to watch especially when you play baseball but your to busy watching an indy race knowing that you\'ll never get to drive anything even similar to those cars.
-
explain to me why 400,000 fans will gather to watch boring oval racing

I know how many people go, its the biggest sporting event in the World. I knew you would pull that out but the difference is being there is a whole hell of a lot better than watching it on tv. It\'s a lot more exciting and you get a feel for it.

And why do millions of people buy Britney Spears albums? The answer is the same... NO TASTE.
-
that guy that comes on pti every so often is like jim rome an auto racing hater who cant keep the hate to himself : if you dont like a sport, but millions others do, the sport isnt stupid, it is just it is not your taste keep the bashing to yourself
-
I won\'t be able to watch the Indy 500 even if I wanted to, being that I live in Indy and it isn\'t televised unless you are atleast 70 miles away.
About baseball being boring, its all a matter of opinion, if you have a favorite team baseball isn\'t boring to watch at all, especially if you like to play baseball. If you could get in a race car and drive around at 240 mph like you can go outside and play catch, then maybe I\'d like it better.
BTW football is by far the best sport ever. Oh and PTI rules.

the only thing i dont like about 500 races
is the only thing exciting is when a crash happens and i dont like watching the life of someone flash before me for a few moments of wow
also the fact of the matter is that those guys are inchs away from each other all the time so its damn near repetitive lap after lap

no i dont watch racing for the crashes (after seeing some of the bad ones you will hope they dont happen)
actually race car fans like the side by side racing constantly
-
yea well its just like you said a preference and while i may agree with some of that guys reasons due to my own opinion i agree he doesnt need to bash them
nobody should bash anything as its lame - there are other ways to express ones opinion anyways
-
Ok, racing of any sort is boring to watch on tv. But if you\'re at the race, it\'s not that bad. But watching it on tv it becomes boring. You can only see whats happening at one spot on the track, and it gets boring watching the same 2 or 3 cars drive around the track. And when they get 6 inches from each other the announcers jump out of their chairs like something amazing just happened. But whatever, people have different tastes. I just don\'t like racing.
Basketball is the best sport, btw.
-
Everybody has there own opinion on which sport they like along with what beer, soda, and make of car, so who the F*CK cares, cuz no matter what you aren\'t gonna be able to change someones mind so why argue about it?
-
Cause it\'s fun to hear other people\'s opinions. And as long as people don\'t hate each other over their different opinons, it\'s all good.
-
Their right Clowd.. Oval racing sucks more donkey balls than Emporer Rob. It\'s too boring. Last time I went to the Indy time trials, there were more people BBQ\'ing in the parking lot and sleeping in the stands than were watching the race. I could understand where people think Rally car racing is cool.. because of the variety of terrain and the dangers involved. But racing an oval is just.. well.. lame.
Oh.. and try to bash my favorite sport. I don\'t have one. I don\'t like any of them. Well.. maybe the exception of Kick boxing, Boxing, or UFC kinda brawls. How can anyone not like that?
-
Nascar is the most boring, followed by Indy.
Formula one is cool, but Rally and Curcuit is the best.
-
Lacrosse best sport hands down I saw Cornell and Stoney brook in the beggining of tourny Cornell killed stoney brook
-
Lacrosse best sport hands down? Ha right. UFC does rule though...I have like 5 of those movies.
-
Lacrosse is horrible to watch. We got this local indoor lacrosse team. I went and watched em once...so bad.
And it\'s not close to the best sport to play either :p

formula 1 is cool? how many passes for position occur in a race? you can count them on one hand
and rally is like watching time trials it bascially is a time trial... just watch the car go over bumps and jumps....
