Do any of you watch other forms of racing.. I'm
sitting here watching drag boat racing at Wild
Horse Pass.. some bad asss boats... I also watch
a lot of dirt bike racing.. and when I can find it
I watch ice racing on bikes... just curious of what
you other guys/girls watch... I was wondering if they
have any of the drag boats races down here in Texas

Flat track motorcycles,dirt sprint's,dirt stock cars,,I grew up around all of them.

Yeah I watch the dirt sprint cars also

I watch the AMA Supercross & AMA Motocross series on live broadcast regularly, plus I follow the MotoGP and MXGP series results closely. I was way more involved in motorcycle racing years ago than I was ever in drag racing.

I'll be blunt: I don't even look for NHRA Pro races or results any more. I can't relate to the NHRA Pro classes at all now and the only car-racing related show I bother watching is... Street Outlaws.

Hey, it is what it is.

im not much into the Olympics but I like and go to all kinds of motor sports racing.my favorite is the Autocross.in my area Mud racing is real big.

they have drag boat races all summer long in Texas. lake Waco and Marble Falls are two that I go watch.

Hell ya, ANYTHING w/a bad azz motor does it for me and can`t stand ball sports of any kind. It`s either racing or boxing/cage fighting...............

I don't have a channel that has much for other forms of racing, speed channel was nice especially with the lucas oil on the edge. Luckily youtube exists! I watch boat racing, tractor pulls, mud racing, swamp buggy racing, demolition derbies, 24 hours of lemons highlights. Red Bull has some cool stuff, like the frozen rush. Trophy Trucks on snow? how can that not be entertaining!

Its really too bad none of these things make any sort of horsepower, since they never go down the 1/4 mile.

As usual I am not here at the right time of
the year for boat racing... when I was a kid
I use to race small 10' boats with a 10hp
Merc with the quick silver lower unit... I
built a 16' Old Town canoe that I hung 2 10hp
Merc's on.. it was quick in the straights but
it sure didnt like to turn

Flat track motorcycles,dirt sprint's,dirt stock cars plus many other motorsports (dirt mod is my uncle and the cart is my cousin)

I got into hover crafts for a few years.. my
brother and I both had one.. I changed the
single cyl 26 hp engine that was on it stock
and I mounted a 440 dual carb engine on it..
my brother couldnt touch it with his 440 single
carb.. but I changed the pitch on the blades so it
moved more air.. his was fixed pitch.. I tried
to organize some hover craft racing out on the
ice in Mich but hoover crafts never caught on up
there... people loved watching us race around a
course we set up and they had a ton of questions
about them but as I said... it never caught on ..
I ended up putting that 26 hp Rotex engine on a
little home made 3 wheeler that I built.. it would
run about 70 mph(had it clocked with a speed gun)..
the hover craft would run 73 MPH in no wind conditions..
just a few of the odd ball toys I built for fun

I'll watch just about anything in person with an engine. TV doesn't do much for me, regardless what it is. Of course, drag racing is what I do, but winged sprints are cool. Truck and tractor pulling are fun, too. Drag racing, dirt oval and pulling are all big around here. There's plenty to go see close by. I just haven't had time to go in recent years. Lately, the only thing I've had to watch is the neighbor kids ripping around on their 4 wheelers. Maybe this summer I'll get out more.

Dirt late models, sprints, drag boats, snowmobile racing when it's on, dirt drags, mud drags and truck and tractor pulling.

Nope. My racing attention span is too short for anything but drags and, then, only heads up racing. Boats use a rolling start so they don't interest me.

If I had to do it over again, I think I would get more involved in open wheel sprint car stuff.

AMA Supercross and MotoGP when I can. I sometimes catch eithe rallye or V8 Supercar when its on early on the weekends. I'm not much for regular TV so there isn't much I will watch.

Drags are my favorite. Formula 1 is cool. Loved the trans am series with great in car cameras.

I like the TORC, LOORS, BITD and Stadium Supertruck races. TO me it is the most door to door, rubbing is racing form of motorsport these days. Next is the Australian V8 Supercars, those guys go for the gusto too.

MX GP for me, i can't get AMA, otherwise i'd watch that as well. I still watch amateur mx and go to the odd GP. I also watch twin shock MX as that was part of my racing era.

When I move to Idaho in a few years....I'll be a fixture at these races.....
