Interesting that you didn't include Champ Car,
ALMS or NHRA.
This is THE weekend for NHRA.

TM Direct, don't go to an NHRA event, you'll get hooked.
Especially if you get a pit pass, it is TOO cool.
The smell of the nitro, open exhaust, it's really something.

Always been a circle track fan, but I did get free tickets to an NHRA race at Joliet a few years ago. The noise is absolutely insane, I was a half mile from the track when the first round went off, they are setting off car alarms a half mile away. You could feel the vibration in your chest. I liked it, you know raise the hair on your arms and neck. When I sat down, I had no idea how fast 4.80 in a quarter mile really is. And I think they are down to 4.20's now. I would recommend it at least once for any motorsport fan. Bring or buy earplugs.

Gordon's got a nice little momentum thing goin on coming into the chase.:cool:
 
thx for all the info ...Im going to try it...I remember years ago I use to wonder how people could sit in the stands and watch guys turn left for 250 laps! LOL....now im one of them
