30 laps to get to that speed? Where does it state that?

And if you think the Nascar cars use Weedeater technology, you really need to read up on them. 10,000 rpm and the use of exotic materials such as Beryllium among others, is what makes those big old hunks of iron go.
Seeing how the topic went from one thing to another we might as well say that F1 can't hold a candle to a Top Fuel car. Seeing as the F1 car accelerates like my Toro compared a Fuel car.
So back to the topic, a car that weighs twice as much as an F1 car and is twice the size went that fast is amazing.
So maybe those who have no clue as to what Nascar is about, or what is involved in the making of those hunks of shit should not talk about them. [img]/images/graemlins/smiles[/img]

Obviously my sarcasm didnt drip out of the screen like I thought it would. The 30 lap statement was an exaggeration, as was the 8 seconds. But, it does take a Nascar a couple of laps to get up to speed, especially with restrictor plates. Now about the technology, do you really want to argue the technology in a Nascar with the technology in an F1 car? Do you really think dropping the word Berrylium is going to give you any points in this department? F1 technology is easily a few decades ahead of "Jack some wedge in 'er" technology your spouting off.
Sure I'll put an F1 car against a Top Fuel car on a roadcourse. Not only would the F1 car smoke it after turn 1, it also won't break halfway down the first straight.
Sorry dude, 228 is not impressive to me.
As for your last paragraph, don't even throw the "I don't know what Nascar is all about" speech at me. As if there is some Zen-like mentality along with some complicated infrastructure that only a select few 'necks out there "get." Puuuulease!
Dude, I am probably the biggest 'neck that posts here, but even I can give into the fact that F1 cars are so far superior to Nascars in EVERY aspect.
