Nascar chase format

Ya I was at the 2000 Daytona, what a zoo, I'll never do it again! Never thought I'd ever see the day I'd pay $50.00 to park in a staples parking lot. I'm assuming that if you live in Florida and just hopped in your car it might cost a tad less! LOL. The best race I've been to was my first one at the old Rockingham track back in 1999. Since doing the Daytona I've made the genius discovery that shorter tracks are better, more value when you can actually see the WHOLE TRACK and not just the 5 seconds that they are blasting past you. LOL. Talladega was fun though. Nascar should make a nostalgia series like the AHRA did for funny cars, limits the amount of technology that you can use therefor limiting the amount of dollars that are spent in the class. I'm told it's the fastest growing class in drag racing and it's a blast to watch! I think NASCAR would have a runaway hit doing that. Just one small detail... craigslist add:" wanted, 1970 plymouth hemi superbird wanted for swapping paint at local NASCAR race. Call 555 5555." Kev

Yah kanders, we have retired from Daytona as well. Went for the 50th as our last. The $90 fan zone was a joke. My first year there back in 97, I drove over, parked in the mall lot I think, paid big bucks for the spot. Walked miles to the back stretch and couldn't see anything.
We took a newbie the last time and for the truck race, you can sit on the lower levels...wait, first he ask if the driver introduction trucks were what they were racing(Avalanches) I said no just wait. They go around once and he says I think we might be sitting to close.LOL But then noticed the young guys and girls staff that keep you off the fence were even closer.8)

I agree with a sportsman style format. Kind of how the busch division started.

Here was my view for the 500.
