race tracks

Hi camomom! Living in Wyoming, Racetracks are all a long way away, But: To date I've been to: Martinsville twice --NASCAR Las Vegas --NASCAR Chicago --NASCAR My brother and I try to go to Denver at least every other year for the NHRA Mile High National Drag Races and have been there for 6 Races over the years!! I've also been to the Bonneville Salt Flats several times for their Speed Weeks! Talk about AWESOME!!!!! Some cars go over 500 mph!!!! I've learned that spending a little more for seats a little higher up in the grandstands usually helps to see more of the track, but I've also been told that tracks like Indy and Daytona are so big that you can't see much no matter where you sit. As far as prices go--- well I guess I'm such an avid race fan that I don't mind paying the prices--- but could suggest shopping for package deals that include travel, hotel, and race tickets as these are usually more cost effective!! Best Wishes and Enjoy Your Racing!!!1

I live in South Carolina and so far I've been to Darlington, Charlotte, Atlanta, Bristol and Rockingham(when they used to race there). I actually live about 10 minutes from the track in Darlington. Let me just say, I got the opportunity to go to Bristol this past year. It was absolutely amazing. I'm convinced it's the best place to go watch a race. You can see every bit of the track perfectly from just about any seat. If you get an opportunity to go their, go. Also. I like to sacrifice the money and sit as close to the top as I can. You can see the most that way. Charlotte and Darlington also have great racing

The only large NASCAR track I've been to was Michgigan International Speedway. It was a gift many years ago so no idea as to the cost of the ticket. I go to local short tracks here that are also NASCAR sanctioned and points awarded as well. Mostly Late Models. Theswe run about $15 on the average for 3 hours opf races. They have Meet The Stars everyu year where top name NASCAR drivers come and race against the local Late Model Drivers. I met and got Dale Jr.s Grandsons autograph a couple years ago. Jeffery Earndhart and only 17 racing in the Midwest Late Model race here in Minnesota for one race. I know it was NASCAR sanctioned but the class other than Late Model I forget though. I've met Dale Jr as well as Dale Sr, Matt Kenseth, J.J.Yelley, Greg Biffle, Jimmie Johnson, Busch boprhtres, just to name a few. A great time those days especially seeing them get into local Late Models and race local drivers. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I have actually never been to a race track before. I have never really gotten into Nascar. I have and old friend who loves Nascar and she goes every chance she gets.

I've been to the Texas Motor Speedway and the California Speedway in Fontana. Both times we got the 4-day pack that included the Cup race and the Busch race (this was last year and the year before), practices, and pit passes. We like to sit down in the lower rows, which brings down the price a bit. I can't remember exactly how much we paid, but it was somewhere around $250 each. Both places are fun.
