While you are a fellow auto enthusiast and a very knowledgeable forum contributor I do not know you personally. Most of the individuals I associate with are of a similar demographic as myself: Blue collar mechanics that grew up in the '80s wrenching on tired old mucle cars. Some of my friends can barely pay their mortgage much less travel for ANY type of entertainment so an F1 race is not even an option. Nothing wrong with F1, heck I'll even watch it if it's on the tube because it's talented drivers driving very fast! I just won't
follow it. F1 is kinda like the auto racing version of soccer. Extraordinary athletes participating in a challenging game. The rest of the world goes crazy for it but here in the US while it is obviously becoming more popular it still lags behind the major traditional sports. Times are-a-changing but saying NASCAR is "finished" is a bit premature.
