My *** is still sore from the stupid bench. It was way too long and no matter where you sit you can't see the whole race. It would have been cool for 100 laps but not 250. It was supposed to be near 70 so I wore shorts and a T-shirt and it ended up being 54 with a cool wind. I was a little cold and uncomfortable. We also rode the train in which took forever and was not worth the convenience. Some of you may not get what I'm trying to say....in LA you can pay $25 and hop on a train that takes you right to the speedway. The $25 is worth it just in the price of gas and you could concievably drink all day long. However, it took so long to get home that I wish that i had driven. Anyway, there were some very good things at the race too. The concessions were great- good food! The sponsors also had some pretty cool displays.

California was as boring on TV. You need to get to a real track like the rest of us have been talking about. But for you that means a serious trip to the deep South as every track west of the Mississippi is a boring cookie cutter. Talladega is an awesome track that is far more exciting in person than on TV (you have no perception of speed on TV) and tickets are always available. I just don't want you to give up on seeing another NASCAR race in person because you haven't really experienced it yet!

Also, when you go to a race, I would suggest getting a scanner. I think they are usually about $50 for the weekend if I'm not mistaken. At least that is what they used to be. It's awesome when you can hear what the driver and crew cheif are talking about. And here it word for word in real time.

Bleh...NASCAR the....monotonous new "sport" sweeping the nation...

I could care less how fast the cars go or how much endurance it takes to sit on your a$$ that long - its watching 5,000,000 mind-numbing laps! There is no point!

Make a few laps --- by yourself --- at let's say Bristol. You'll get the point!

gvervoren · 03-01-2007, 06:09 PM

Also, how would you hold up to riding in a car for 3-4 hours while the temperature inside can reach sometimes 130 -140 degrees in the car. Plus have to wear all the fire suits and everything besides. I bet you couldn't do it. I know I wouldn't be able to.

Then stay the hell out of our thread!

The Bristol night race in August is da bomb!!
Wish I could be there in person!
Walking along the fence at Daytona when they are running
is pretty cool also.

Charlotte,(Lowes) is still my favorite track. Turn 4 up about 25 rows is the perfect seat to see all the action.

However I have yet been able to afford to go to Bristol.

I sit at turn one at Ford sitting area 6 row up.

birdman941 · 03-02-2007, 12:51 PM

I was at Charlotte for the first night race in 92 I think it was.
The Winston "One Hot Night" as they advertised it.
The one where Davey crashed at the end and barely beat Kyle Petty.
I was seated low at the end of turn 2.

G · 03-02-2007, 02:01 PM

WHEN YOU LEAVE BRISTOL IT WILL BE HARD TO NOT YELL TO TALK.

If you don't carry hearing protection, you will regret it. Especially in the infield.

ylopony · 03-03-2007, 07:45 AM

Michigan is another track that is good to watch live. If you are up in about the 20th row in any section you can see the whole track. The only trouble with Michigan is that it is a pain in the A$$ to get out of there. When we go there we just cook out and wait several hours before leaving after the race.

I was in turn 2 a few years ago. I think it sucks to have the cars coming at you down the front stretch. Turn 4 is the bomb.

Charlotte is the best track by far for leaving the track. We pay $20 and park right accross the street behind a Nascar stor Jeff Hammod owns. We get out right away with no waiting. NC HP does a great job.

It sure looked as though he was knocked out, if only for a few seconds. That was a hard hit and I believe he was ko'd for a few. Scary shot they had.

Montoya was more at fault but his teammate did move down though. So in my opinion, it wasn't entirly his fault. Just mostly his fault. A little impatient.

ylopony · 03-04-2007, 08:27 PM

In every circuit that Montoya has been in he has had a reputation of being an island to himself, someone that does not understand or care to be part of a team. Today proved it to me in Nascar. I thought it was a very agressive move to make on a TEAMMATE at that point of the race.

he could have passed him cleanly in a few laps. That was a silly move. It put him at odds with even his own team.

What point of the race was it? I can understand some aggresiveness with less than 15-20 laps to go. I got home in time to see the two restarts with 3 laps to go.

Hmmmm so Nascar is about watching guys sweat profusely while trapped in a high-speed enclosure.

I have a new tv show for you! The Centrifuge G-Force Simulator (now with added heaters)!!
