Does anyone have any video links that show more than 2-5 minutes of rally as search as I might have not seen many at all. I don't have the channel on the TV and wanted to kill some time watching. Thanks!

Years ago, Speed TV / Speed Channel got me hooked on the Dakkar, the Isle of Man TT, and WRC, then those bastards turned into NASCAR whores. I put myself on a two-year cycle of buying a race DVD (TTs one year, Dakkar, then WRC - rotation). I know it is expensive habit but I need my fix. Don R100, A6F

Isn't it amazing the attraction NASCAR has? I have watched a lot of racing from dirt track (both cars and bikes), Motocross and Supercross, Indy cars at night, Top Fuelers going 300 mph plus and blowing up in the process. Roadracing at Bikeweek. I even got to watch F1 cars once in Portugal.NASCAR bores the crap out of me. I have been to one race and have watched it on TV. The Daytona 500 gets exciting the last 10 laps. I suppose I need to go to NASCAR enlightenment school. Criswell Sent from my iPhone

I'm a big NASCAR fan, but it's a matter of getting into the details, really. I used to be an F1 fan, back in high school and college, but all of my favorite drivers died. That was not fun. And now F1 is usually (not always) decided in qualifying. NASCAR is SO much more than driver and car. It is pit crew, crew chief, setup, downforce versus cooling, fuel mileage, tire strategy, personalities, good-guy, bad-guy, intentional wrecking, pay-back, tantrums, screw-ups, and more. Once you get beneath the race and into the details, it is very interesting. Plus we get into the garage every race and I can talk to the crews and the radio and TV folks and such. Anyway, I'm a big fan. Plus I was pit crew on a local stock car when I was in college, so I can relate. Try it, you'll like it. Robert P.

Jeff, is this the "Color Tune" of which you speak? And can one really see enough so it's not just a gimmick? http://www.international-auto.com/index.cfm/fa/p/pid/3448/sc/27176
