Nascar Races

Re: Nascar Races

I'm so frickin' jealous of all of you who went Daytona 24 Hrs. I try to go to a new event or venue every year, next year is my Daytona year. This year my new event is the IRL and ALMS at Mid-Ohio.

I don't think I'll make any Nextel Cup races this year, no races near me are featuring the Car of Tomorrow - otherwise I'd go to Chicago or Kansas City or the Brickyard. I'll make the Indy 500, F1 USGP, the above mentioned races at Mid-Ohio, and the Busch Series/Craftsman Truck races at Gateway Int'l Raceway.

Re: Nascar Races

I hear the truck series races are the best of the NASCAR races. They get a little more aggressive then most. I was thinking of hitting up the truck race around daytona 500, but its pricey too and just went to the Rolex so don't need to drop more money.

Re: Nascar Races

IRL testing Wed & Thurs at Daytona International Speedway. You have to take the track tour to see them though, not just walk into the stands.

Re: Nascar Races

Is the IRL contemplating a race at Daytona? The road track or the oval? I would have thought there speeds would be too high and the angle would be too great. Oh well either way that would sound kick *** flying around daytona, I heard them at Indy there is no sound to compare.

Re: Nascar Races

The Indycars have been testing on the road course at Daytona. Speeds would be far too high if they ran around just the oval. While most of the oval is incorporated into the road course at Daytona, having a lot of downforce to negotiate the infield sections would keep speeds down on the oval sections.

Re: Nascar Races

I don't know if IRL wants to do any races there, or just testing. I hope they do want to race. I'd love to see it here.

I'm pretty sure they are doing the road course. I think the same one that Rolex does, but it might be the one the bikes do. I'll let you know.

We got some new games at Daytona USA...
