Yet again, they race twice a year on road courses so...I guess you couldn't rely on that joke too much.
And the teams also get ringer drivers for those 2 events. You know, guys who know how to turn BOTH directions. So yeah, NASCAR = FAIL.

Yea, how many teams do that? Like 3, maybe 4 tops, while the 95% rest of the field stay the same.

Liking a certain sport or race series is subjective, just like NASCAR is fail to you, F1 is fail to me, boring. If you don't like it, don't watch it.

I gotta say though Micheal bay Kinda does whatever he wants. Nothing has matched the animated series yet.

The Transformers are way to big. no ones looking for energon. no one has a gun. theres barely any jets.

sound wave can launch his cassettes from a million miles away.

they fly through space at a million miles an hour.

Its complete fail in the matching up with the animated series.

With all that said I love what hes done with it.

Wut? The all spark was a representation of the energon, just different concept. No guns, wut? You mean the ones every single one of them carries? 2 jets at least so far, 3 counting Jetfire.

I'm surprised there are so many of us that are familiar with the "old school" Transformers and the story...sooooo, who would you like to see in the next movie. For me it's:
Omega Supreme
Blurr
Rodamus Prime

^^ my favorite was Jetfigher only because he was modeled after the Robotech Vera tech Fighers. Use to collect those back in the 80's

Agreed.
I was saying thats what Micheal bay has given us so far. Kind of being sarcastic.

I don't remember jetfire, I do remember sky fire.

I get that the all spark is representing energon.

Its just a weird take on the series...

Plus its missing super cheesy music in the background.

The big key screw up is that deceptions were always able to fly away and could never win a battle on the ground. and no one could defeat optimus.

There was reports that Toby mcguire and Leonardo wants to make a Robotech movie, not sure if it would be made. But that is one show that really needs to be made.

Don't care for boring open wheel crap either. Too much drafting and not enough passing. Nascar sucks because its all sticker cars with no differences underneath. Don't like when things, anything, is dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.

like I said... "TRANSFORM and GET 'ER DONE!"

i guess i meant grand am/rolex series I always confuse them

http://www.grand-am.com/schedule/res...ies=r&eid=1481

Jimmie Johnson, AJ Allmendinger, Paul Menard, Jami McMurray, Pablo Montoya (I guess he doesn't count really)

idc either way but lots(all?) nascar drivers get started in cart racing like F1/everything else

Uh ya, ALMS doesn't have a 24Hr race. Their longest is the 12Hr at Sebring.
And, there are a couple of NASCAR drivers that started their career in karts. There are 3 that are former F1 drivers.
