I watch NASCAR racing each week. I have no idea why, but I have been watching it since 1985 and it's a habit.

We have a dirt track 2 hours east of San Diego. It's a great experience. We also have a 3/8 mile oval closer to town that has much better racing than Nextel Cup.

But my favorite racing is European sedans. The cars are so close to street cars, they have opening doors, stock trim, and even actual lights.
