my dad has drag raced all his life and is now trying to pass it on to me by having me race his truck
which I'm a bit nervous about but fuck it's awesome

the rest of those questions sort of make me want to puke on my shoes

yeah, he took me out in the truck when he finished it, we went from about 45 to 150mph in like 3 seconds
that may not be an accurate time, it might be 5 seconds

Do you live in the south of the USA?
All drag racing and NASCAR?

to be fair, they go like 200mph around the track
but fuck, how fucking dull is that, watching cars drive around in circles for 4 hours?

When they crash

let me fucking tell you
I went to a fucking NASCAR race at this shit track 4 hours away, it was blistering hot, the rubber from the tires was sticking to my sunscreen and I could barely see, my eyes were hurting so bad from getting shit from the track in them.
So I get up around the 200 lap mark to go to concessions stand, am gone for like an hour and a half, come back out thinking, yes I've got about a half hour of this shit then we can go, I get stopped in my tracks to see they'd red flagged the race, quite fucking literally after I'd gotten to concessions and they were still at the 200 lap mark.
I almost cried.

That sounds shit
Did it not go all "Final Destinationy" and have loads of crashes and deaths?

That film was fucking gash.

It was indeed
I got as far as the crash and the bloke being killed in the truck then turned it off

Formula 1 baby!
Still a procession though.

Nascar cars are all the same though
so it's about driver skills, not that much is required to drive round a freaking oval.

It's all about positioning and tactics.
Apparently.
