NASCAR at Talladega

How 'bout those cars at Talladaga are doing that through a restrictor plate that chokes their carbs down to less carb throat area than on your CB750
That's pretty impressive

You can get a similar experience at MIS with a whole lot less traveling.
Watkins Glen is a long day trip away.
Some friends really care and took the RV to talladega this year. They only have a couple tracks left to complete the set.
I went to daytona once as I was in florida anyway and tickets were reasonably cheap. Meh. It was fine. I'd much rather watch VRRA than nascar.

Long story short, I (very briefly) rode an RZ350 on the high banks and road course of Daytona during an AMA Championship Cup endurance race.
The place scared me silly...
Sounds like my neighbours. They only need 2 more, to claim they've been to every track.
Same with the Blue Jays......they've been to EVERY National League park to watch the Jays play......they got to San Fran & Oakland (last hurrah) this summer to complete the mission.
I grew up at southern Ontario tracks watching go rounders . My mom was nuts for stock car and Indy car racing . I’d love to see a big race a talledega or Daytona .
To be honest I watched lawn tractors on a grass ‘road’ course last summer . I’d go again, they had beer .

It's bumpier than it looks. Coming down off the bowl to the infield is wicked.

Apples to oranges Talladega is a super speedway.
Years ago they flew Dale Earnhart in to race at Cayuga. OF COURSE he got pole... the green flag drops... and 4 cars take out Dale Earnhart. TOTALLY intentional, it was obvious... he didn't even make it to corner one. One of the funniest thing I have seen on the track
Dale went into the pits, it took 3 or 4 laps for his crew to build a new front end out of garbage bags and duct tape, went back out and lapped everyone at least twice to win the race
Nascar is fast and really cool, but has nothin on saturday night at the local racetrack for excitement... particularly when you know most of the drivers out there are just gassed
Don't know if they still do, but for the longest time all the nascar teams ran made in Canada Slack frames in their short track cars. Slack used to own both the Cayuga tracks
Roundy round guys party a LOT harder than open wheel or drag guys
