Auto racing's tri-fecta(sp) going on today and because I no longer have a real life I am going to watch all three races and I am also going to critique all three in three categories.

1. best looking fans (pretty sure I already know the winner)

2. fastest speeds (pretty sure I already know the winner)

3. overall excitement of race (to be determined)

So is there anybody else watching all three who can give honest opinions of the best races of the day?

If you already hate Indy car and or NASCAR don't bother posting.

F1 critique.

Since I have no favorite I can be objective.

1. lots of pretty girls on the grid. More luxury yachts than luxury motor homes in NASCAR or Indy

2. Lots of slow speed corners but very fast straights, track too narrow to allow aggressive driving.

3. No pass for lead but nice race for second near end of race between Hamilton and Riccardo. Out of 78 laps 10 were exciting.


Comment, did Hamilton really have something in his eye or was he using it as an excuse because he could not pass Rosberg?

Indy critique.

1. pretty girls but not as many as Monoco + Jim Nabors nod goes to Monoco.

2.Unbelievable speeds for 3/4 of race and then the drivers got hungry. +++ for the red flag with 10 to go.

3. Passing, passing, passing and a last lap pass for the win. It doesn't get any better.


Comment, all races should end under green, good job by Kurt Bush in a less than perfect car.

Monaco was dull and so was Indy, although I'm happy for the winner. Hopefully NASCAR will be better than the rest.

Indy was dull? Don't get your hopes up for NASCAR.

Indy was an excellent race...

The last 30 laps were good. But that's true for most races. I'll give it a watch again to see if I change my mind.

So then we can completely disregard your comments regarding F1.

Jules Bianchi scored a point which is major. Hulkenberg finishes fifth when he started outside the top 10.

Of course it seems like you don't pay attention to anything outside of the top 3.

I thought my comments on F1 were pretty fair. You saw the race did you think it was great or was it so so?

NASCAR critique.

1. Lots of good ol'e boys and girls. Million dollar motor homes and converted school buses.

2. It's Charlotte high banks and 850+ Hp of course they are fast.

3.Typical NASCAR, one guy takes they lead then somebody else takes the lead, then somebody else. Some teams try for a gas mileage strategy. A couple of cars starting dead last worked their way up to the top ten (Bush bros.) Too many cautions for mysterious debris. Ultimately the car won that should have one (48) not my choice but you can't argue about their ability.


So IMO the overall ratings for which was the best race of the day.

1. The Indy 500

2. Coke 600

3. F1 Monoco

Since I am a NASCAR fan I think my ratings are pretty fair.
