SWspartan Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I used to go to Nascar races in Fontana. But I stopped watching the sport when they went to stage racing, which I don't like. But to each his or her own. I've been following MotoGP racing ever since and I really like it. Hope to go to the USA track near Austin, TX someday. The 2025 MotoGP season opens Feb. 28 in Thailand.

I grew up on the east coast and my old man was a big fan of NASCAR so when I was growing up we'd go to a bunch of races. He took us to Dover, Pocono, Richmond, Martinsville, and Charlotte but he always wanted to go to Talladega and Darlington. We went to Daytona once but only for a tour, we never went to a race there. I was a big Darrell Waltrip fan as a kid... 1 Quote

I was a big Darrell Waltrip fan as a kid... I've been to most of the tracks. The only thing close to camping in the infield at Talladega is infield camping at Michigan. Daytona is fun as well, but it's not Dega. Quote

InnZoneU Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I like to bet on Neckcar. Great odds, usually take 4 or 5 drivers and one of them probably wins for a sweet payout. Quote
Rebelcuff Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I got into it lately. Been to one race the 4th of July race at Daytona. Didn't really like it, but after watching the Netflix show I have more respect for it. Plus it's a really bad time for sports and it is something to look forward to on Sundays. Excited about the road race on Sunday. Quote

Some of those short tracks are a lot of fun, I liked Martinsville but honestly it's hard to keep up with who is leading because the track so short. I went to Bristol once but no race, it was just passing through but we got to go out on the track and it was amazing how high the banks were. Not sure if they still do the night race there but that's bucket list stuff Quote

Robe Posted March 3 Posted March 3 23XI Jordan’s teamjust got the top 2 pole position at COTA. Kyle Busch and Jordans drivers are the ones I root for. Its cool to see Jordan at NASCAR races. 1 Quote
