I agree that those days were the best. I really liked the old Trans Am series. And the real cars which weren't as safe as they are today, but the racing was much better I thought. Whoever could make their car go the fastest and handle the best won which is the way it should be. I feel NASCAR is also hurting themselves with all of the various TV shows they have on.
