Default Nascar

My father and brother drove down to Concord North Carolina to see the Winston Cup Nascar racing this weekend. (The UAW-GM Quality 500)
I think they're kinda nuts to drive all the way down there to see a Nascar race, myself.

LMAO

I have to agree. I live 2 hours from Bristol and some times I think it would be better to just leave the state when the race is here.

I can understand why some people find it boring, but I am really into it. I keep saying I am going to get to a race, but I have never made it. I hear it is a pretty wild scene in the infield etc. Lots of debauchery

EC, aren't you from Canada? How long of a drive would that be?

I like Nascar but i do prefer Formula 1...

Btw, Michael Schumacher is the greatest, he won 11 races out of 16 and went on podiums for each race.

Wonder what he could do in Nascar or Cart...

Respect to the man...

I don't get the sport either. I mean I love to drive fast, and race a bit myself. But I hate to watch others do it. My entire father's side of the family loves it. Come to think about it, I think that half of them just love to go get drunk

Yes I do prefer F1 as well....

JTW.. I think it was about a 14 hour drive for the. That's what they said they expected anyway. My guess is it took them about 16+ hours to get from near Toronto, Ontario to Concord, NC.

I'll find out when they're back home tonight.

A little bar I go to in my neighborhood has some die hard nascar fans. Mostly the older guys. I'll go when there is a race to eat their food and drink but I never really could get into it. I like watching the wrecks

Having driven shifter karts on a couple occasions I can tell you this, that ANY type of racing at high speeds is by far the most strenous sport you can participate in. The mental tenacity as well as physical fitness these guys requre to run hundred's of laps is amazing, in our first shifter kart session we ran a total of 50 laps with no more than 12 laps at a time and after 12 laps I was close to exhaustion. True Nascar may not be the most exciting sport to watch but any auto-racing is a full out blast to participate in.

Oh, for sure. I'd love to do it, I just don't like watching someone else do it.

I remember talking to some fast-air guys when I was in the military. They were telling me how wrecked their passengers are when they finish a familialization flight in an F-18 trainer. I'm sure that the high-end racecars come close to that kind of experience.

High-end racecar, nah, $5K shifter kart and you're wiped out. If you've never done it Chris, why don't you come with me and few of the boys in Nov, we've got a couple hour time-block reserved, we can lie to them and tell them you've completed the beginner courses already

Here's the track

http://www.lasvegaskarting.com/home.htm

**Warning** this is not regular go-kart bullshit racing, this is the REAL deal, you will exceed 110mph in these karts and pull over 3 G's in the corners. No pussies allowed. I'll talk with John at ARS, he's the orgainzer and buddies with Paul Tracy and the kid who runs the school, pretty funny for Paul to be racing in Japan on Sunday and in Gold's on Wed working out with us.

Anyways if you're interested I'll let you know the exact date we're gonna push the envelope on death.
