they've tested rain tires on superspeedways. the findings were the tire contact patch was too small for the wieght of the car at the speeds they would be running. For that matter cart and IRL dont run in the rain on superspeedways either. ....F1 is good if your a Ferrari fan, other than that its a snooze fest.......and this spoken from a guy who has been to the Montreal GP 9 or 10 times!!!

Fan factor. Most of the fans already cleared the stands. Not many came prepared for the changing weather.

Even though Waltrip won the race, I'm sure he would have preferred to earn it the right way by going the distance.

I actually sat down yesterday and starting watching the race. I'm not too much of a Nascar fan but it is cool seeing all those cars in a pack running 187 . Well I ended up falling asleep and when I woke up the race was off.
Don't they get dizzy driving in a circle ?!?!?
I'f prefer watching a FIA rally , I just caught the Swedish rally Wed. night . Now those guys can drive,they were running 130mph on ice !!! And one competitor came around a corner (in a full drift) and low and behold there was a moose on the road !!! Luckly he made it around it.
F1 racing is also very impressive I would love to see one in person.
Lastly is NHRA , it is impressive how fast a Top Fuel car can run. I've seen those in person and they are unbelievable !
The number one thing to watch is Offshore racing though !!!

They are all fun and good, but until you have seen a Formula 1 Tunnel Boat race (in person), those guys have some exciting racing. I swear you won't fall asleep...
