24nomo Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 What a weekend of racing at Kansas. They have really improved the racing at the 1 1/2 mile tracks. I hope they can do something in turn 1 and 2 at Texas to make that better so people will get off of the couch and go to the track and watch the race.

Radical Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 My issue is not the racetrack. It's the amount of money it takes to attend a NASCAR race. The cost of getting there. The cost of a hotel room. The cost of food. The cost of food at the track. The cost of getting something off the drivers merchandise trailer.

That was the year Earnhardt had the crash that broke his collarbone. I enjoyed it very much and visiting the museum was also something worth attending. I found out why they have seats there as well. It's for the people to sit during cautions. I wished I could tell you about Daytona. Unfortunately, I have never been there. I'm sure it would be worth the visit as too.

Same thing when I go to a concert, fishing, hunting, NBA game, NFL game, MLB game, the Zoo, Bar, Restaurants, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
