Tell that to all the dyno queen Supra owners that can't get their cars out of the 11s.

Pretty much any form of racing requires skill.

Personally neither oval track racing nor drag racing excites me. I find it funny that so many "import" people bag on NASCAR and oval track racing in general, then talk about how drag racing is so much more interesting. Guess what, drag racing traces its roots back to a bunch of crazy American white folks just as much oval track racing does.
