Default Re: Fans don't understand racing?

I try to explain this on a frequent basis. The average fan can understand "pro", top fuel, funny car and pro stock, and "index" racing, Pinks All Out or Unleashed because there are two cars they both leave at the same time, unless one car gets a good light, and they race to the finish line. The first one there wins.

What most people don't understand about class racing vs index racing is they are the same type of cars and why one car is a quarter of the way down the track and then the other guy leaves and trys to catch him. When the car that got the head start gets near the finish line he either lets off, "pats the accelerator" or "slams on brakes." In some cases the guy who had the head start and puts on brakes he loses. This is very difficult to explain to the average spectator we understand because we are the ones racing.
