Nascar to bring street racing to Chicago

[Squirrel]

I mean, what could go wrong? Oy ... and the city will have to do a LOT of work to make the streets ready. Maybe we'll finally get the potholes fixed ... 

While it seems interesting, I'm more, not a fan.

I read an article yesterday in Speed Sport that NASCAR are working on getting  back to LeMans, they want to make the impact that they did when in 1978 they sent two cars (a Ford and a Dodge); a joke as the car now represents nothing .

One of the drivers that went back then, said they were swamped with fans at the track, but those were cars that at least resembled a production car.

That certainly won’t draw the gun crowd.

Well, that's actually not my worry, but there is that, too. We already have huge problems with people 'drag racing' on streets in the late hours ... I hope this doesn't promote more of that.
