[QUOTE="tncattle, post: 771433, member: 5701"] Nascar ain't the same as it was when I was growing up, that's for sure. The driver's mostly look like wimps and act like babies. You just don't have the personalities and/or characters of the past. Plus the dang cars (if you can call them that) are all the same. It's like they are all in a bunch of go karts that all go the exact same speed. In the 60s and 70s "men" wrestled hulking cars with massive engines that went as fast as today's cars with very little safety equipment and no power steering and cool suits or fresh oxygen being pumped into their closed face helmet! For most of his career Richard Petty drove with no gloves, open faced helmet and cowboy boots. He also chewed on a wet rag to keep hydrated which you know soaked up lots dust, smoke and other debris in the air. I think the guys now can drive obviously but I don't think they are as tough and I think the guys of the past could much easily drive today's cars but the guys of now would have much trouble driving those hulks of yesteryear.
