The F1 season has started again today. I didn't bother getting up early for the first race, but I'll probably watch most of them over the course of the season.
As a Brit, I'll be cheering for Lewis Hamilton and Jensen Button to do well, although Hamilton seems off the pace by early indications. Still, at least Jensen has set us off with a win.
I went to the British Grand Prix last year, which was a cracking day out, and I may well repeat it again this year.
Although I have to say, I was more interested when Schumacher was winning stuff.

Bobby had drag racing on yesterday, and I was thinking it was the premature ejaculation of racing. So that would make nascar the soft one that took so long it bored you to tears. Maybe this kind of racing is 'good'? :D

I'm a life long mechanic; NHRA drag racing is kind of fun for me...8000 HP, tires shaking, fire belching, frames flexing from brute force...okay, a bit childish I admit but DAMN that is some big time tinker toys!
NASCAR? Rednecks turning left. Who cares?
F1 - can be some good stuff, but...
MotoGP - 200 HP, 200mph and two wheels; drag a knee (or a shoulder!) through the turn, light up the back tire on the exit, slide both ends, pick up the line and go...all while hanging out in the breeze. Now that's racing!

I heard attendance at NASCAR races is way down, due to the economy. Don't have a source, though.

F1 started almost a month ago!!
Oh wait, you're talking about cars. :p Twice as many wheels as ya need, if ya ask me.
World Superbike is much more fun, IMO.
