Any race fan absolutely needs to go to at least one race in person. There's no way you'll ever know the speed, smells, etc. unless you've been to at least one. After that, and the bankruptcy from buying the tickets, motel rooms, meals, souveniers, and GASOLINE, watch them on the tube.
If you ever go to Dover, you get 12" of seat space, no more, sometimes less depending on the size of the person sitting next to you. packed in so tight you can barely move your legs or arms. Do that for 5 hrs in the broiling heat. Pay $7-8 bucks for a lousy hamburger.. Go ahead, I dare ya!! LOL
OR......................really waste your time and hard earned money and go to a road course!!
Sit there packed in, watching cars zip past ya every 2 or 3 minutes.........and that's green flag racing.........figure cars passing every 5 to 6 minutes under yellow. The rest of the time your sitting there with your thumb up your butt, waiting for the cars to come around again. Been there/done that at Watkins Glen...............NEVER again!!!!!!!!
Then, after the race, walk a mile back to your car, dodging all the drunks and ****ed off people because Young Punk Bush spun their driver. Then sit in traffice for a minimum of 3 hrs to get moving inch by in.........
I'll stay home and watch it on t.v. from now on.....................
Give me a Saturday night short track any time!!!!!!!!!!
Remeber though, blacktop is for racing, dirt is for farming!!!!!
