I was fortunate enough to get to see NASCAR at Ontario Motor Speedway when they were still running the big blocks :D.
42sumthin' on every hood :D. Seats at the entry of turn 1 bout 10 rows up. The sound, the air they moved, the rubber dust :steering:. What a day :D.
And the cars actually looked and resembled real cars. Dramatic differences between them. I remember first time I went, I clamored down to the fence like all the other kids. Felt like the air was being blown out of my chest, the smell was the best!
