NASCAR
more like 650-700bhp per car(still really good I admit).
big block v8's lame
turning left for about two hours whoop
four main manufacturers:Ford Chevy Pontiac Dodge blah

Now if you want real track racing you gotta go Formula 1
800-1000bhp
V10's
tight left AND right turns
manufacturers: Ferrari McLaren

and the pit-babes are top notch

Actually TF/D make over 8000hp. I am/was quite into drag racing and did a bit of traveling to see events and stuff.

I love TF for the raw power but I still love the ProStocks. 500ci 5 forward speeds and a 4 barrel Carb :) Running I would guess right would be 6.70's in the 1320 and a bit over 210 mph.

I have all 16 of Eddie Hills 4.89 second run Spark Plugs from Maple Grove Pa event. Not much left. I at one point had one of Kenny Berstines TF/FC blocks witha few rods and a cam still wedged in it from a rather nasty engin explosion.

And I think that fuel consumption is a bit off, they have 35 gallon tanks and the finish the run with less than 2 gallons in that tank.

Oi! What fun you have never felt raw power until you stand next to one of these things lighting off in the pits then watch it go down the track at full scoot.
