toyotatim Posted April 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 It was awesome, I was watching it at a place and people were using their iphones and watching the incar audio and scanners. Too cool. It was much better inside the place with neon lights than outside in the dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you least hear the racing going ..lol.. .got alittle chilly but the wind was a mad house they had to keep watering the dust down in the pits . I was hit by the water spraying more than once .cold hit stood me up but the track gave us warnings …. but the winds calmed way down for our features and no more dust .. got to watch my son in the old 7 car go from 20th to 4th for his first run in that car . he finished 7th after a mistake on a restart .. good show to watch all the way around ..

toyotatim Posted April 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I wish that they could run all of their races on Saturday nights under the lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatim Posted April 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I remember back in the day sitting under the stands at the short track watching the Saturday night Nascar races. Now, you can sit in the stands or pits and stream it on your phone. Technology has taken over for the need of fans in the stands. It is all for TV now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King237 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Toyota Tim, just wondering if you attend the races in person or watch on TV? I watch on DVR tape and watch it skipping commercials and the boring parts but skip forward to 20 to go. You at times sound like you could be a former driver maybe? I could better understand your passion with Nascar if I had some background on you. Enlighten us please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatim Posted April 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 I am confused, it is all boring if you watch it after the fact. How do you know it is boring if you skip it? If you watch it live, none of it is boring. My background is I graduated from 8 th grade, got married and have been watching Nascar since then. I have 37 kids, 129 grand kids. Most of them on cup teams now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
