Demond Sanders and Deshawn Zombie kill time talking about racing...
DS: they finally reached a deal on the merger
DZ (3:18:37 PM): oh great
DZ (3:18:42 PM): about time
DS (3:18:45 PM): I'm not sure it matters much since it’s basically a bankrupt series
DZ (3:18:54 PM): Champ you mean?
DZ (3:19:15 PM): People can dog Tony George all they want,
DZ (3:19:22 PM): but the CART guys were morons
DZ (3:19:30 PM): who clearly didn't understand the market
DZ (3:19:38 PM): to think they could survive without the 500
DS (3:19:47 PM): yeah i guess that’s true
DZ (3:19:48 PM): they should have done what ever TG wanted
DZ (3:20:10 PM): TG's vision for the sport was better than theirs, he had all the leverage
DZ (3:20:26 PM): and they tried to go it alone
DZ (3:20:31 PM): it was a dumb
DZ (3:20:38 PM): TG's still rich
DZ (3:20:45 PM): so who was smart and who was stupid?
DZ (3:21:02 PM): BTW: I didn't realize that Ryan Newman is a Hoosier
DZ (3:21:06 PM): Hoosiers rule
DS (3:21:07 PM): he's not
DZ (3:21:10 PM): he is
DS (3:21:12 PM): he's a boilermaker - puke
DZ (3:21:16 PM): lol
DS (3:21:19 PM): not
DS (3:21:20 PM): the
DS (3:21:21 PM): same
DS (3:21:22 PM): thing
DZ (3:21:24 PM): he is a native, I mean
DS (3:21:27 PM): south bender i believe
DZ (3:21:30 PM): yeah, his mom still lives there
DZ (3:21:48 PM): my point is for ‘screwing the South purposes’
DZ (3:21:51 PM): he's a Hoosier
DS (3:21:58 PM): he seems like a Purdue grad - bo-ring
DS (3:22:05 PM): yeah he and tony Stewart were dueling
DS (3:22:08 PM): so that was cool
DS (3:23:26 PM): tony should probably have kept some non-ovals to start with
DS (3:23:34 PM): he ended up having to add some anyway
DZ (3:23:45 PM): sure, but in principle he was right
DZ (3:24:00 PM): nascar took over, and I promise you that it wouldn't have if it was mostly road races
DZ (3:24:12 PM): road racing is nice once in awhile
DS (3:24:16 PM): yeah
DZ (3:24:19 PM): but it's mostly boring
DS (3:24:22 PM): right
DS (3:24:33 PM): its appeals to a completely different sensibility
DZ (3:24:45 PM): an effeminate Eurotrash sensibility
DS (3:24:56 PM): people that like to see the cars accelerate and brake a lot
DS (3:24:59 PM): but it is boring
DZ (3:25:09 PM): it's ok, as long as there are places you can pass
DZ (3:25:23 PM): but on most courses in F1 there is NO PASSING
DZ (3:25:30 PM): where you qualify is where you finish
DZ (3:25:33 PM): it's insane
DS (3:25:37 PM): yeah and they didn't like Indy because of the straight away
DZ (3:25:55 PM): right, and you actually could get by somebody
DS (3:26:27 PM): he's getting Paul Tracey and who else?
DZ (3:26:40 PM): clarity in the market place
DS (3:26:44 PM): there's like one other guy cause Bordeiax went to F1
DS (3:26:49 PM): yeah
DS (3:28:04 PM): graham Rahal
DZ (3:28:05 PM): I can hear the Japanese guys now...
DZ (3:28:08 PM): cancel?
DZ (3:28:13 PM): you want to cancel?
DS (3:28:25 PM): although he's destined to for F1 I've heard
DZ (3:28:26 PM): YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEGGED US TO HOLD THE RACE IN THE
DS (3:29:10 PM): and BRUNO JUNQUIERA's coming back!
DZ (3:29:18 PM): nice
DZ (3:29:55 PM): hopefully, they'll start making inroads on Nascar
DZ (3:29:59 PM): they have the better product
DZ (3:30:04 PM): Nascar is unwatchable
DZ (3:30:14 PM): it's slow
DZ (3:30:19 PM): too may cars
DZ (3:30:27 PM): too many races
DS (3:30:38 PM): i know
DS (3:30:48 PM): they'll be like "THEY'RE GOING FOUR WIDE"
DS (3:30:57 PM): and I’ll be like where? I just see a giant mass of cars
DZ (3:31:05 PM): At ROARING SPEEDS OF NEARLY 100 MPH!
DS (3:31:08 PM): right
DZ (3:31:17 PM): IN GIANT TANKS
DZ (3:31:35 PM): You watch Indy cars and you can't help but think...
DZ (3:31:43 PM): somebody is going home in a body bag today
DZ (3:31:52 PM): now that's a thrill you can sell!
DS (3:31:58 PM): totally
DS (3:32:14 PM): yeah how lame much Dario Franchitti feel?
DS (3:32:34 PM): he goes from world class badass to 35th place finisher!
DZ (3:32:53 PM): something tells me he was doing ok by bed time
DS (3:32:58 PM): well sure
DS (3:33:20 PM): but it’s just so anti-climactic, no pun intended
DS (3:33:34 PM): you win the biggest race in the world
DS (3:33:46 PM): and then you are a nobody with a terrible car
DZ (3:33:57 PM): but with a bag of cash
DS (3:34:11 PM): I’m sure he, as a little boy growing up in
DS (3:34:27 PM): it’s such a marketing ploy, the whole race
DZ (3:34:47 PM): I don't get it entirely, because they run like half a dozen races on that track
DZ (3:34:55 PM): so who cares?
DS (3:34:50 PM): it was never the biggest race until like 10 years ago
DS (3:35:04 PM): now suddenly it’s the great American race
DZ (3:35:49 PM): half the drivers in it would rather win the Brickyard if given the choice
DS (3:35:49 PM): it’s freaking February and they'll be running until September
DZ (3:35:55 PM): We can only hope this merger can do something about it

I'm not a racing fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I have played enough video games to know enough to disagree with you. Road courses are way more fun than ovals.
Also, if they could work in some way for the cars to shoot turtle shells at each other, that would just make the whole experience all the more awesome.
