Certainly some strong opinions here about what's good and bad in motorsports
It's a bit like music, there is a little something for everybody and no one is going to like everything out there.
Personally, being brought up on the road/street/airport circuits of Southern California, I'm a road racing fan. While I can appreciate the strategy and the skills involved, ovals don't really do it for me, although some of of the best racing I have ever witnessed has been USAC midgets on the paved oval at Irwindale.
American open-wheel racing is a mess. While I remain a fan of Champ Car, it is getting increasingly more difficult to watch the slide into mediocrity. I find myself watching more and more motorcycle and sportscar racing on television and attending vintage and club events to get my racing fix.
