I don't normally watch much NASCAR, but yesterdays race intrigued me because it used the old track layout that we/AFM used back in the 80's.
The old turn 1, and 9-10-11 layout was fast as hell.. fun as hell and dangerous, but really awesome too.
I was curious about how fast these cars are and they are damn fast!
I remember 1:53's being my fastest laps and them boys were doing 41's.
Granted faster dudes than I dipped into the high forties.. I kind of remember Doug Chandler doing 48's at the National on a 750 Supersport bike..almost 30 years makes some of that fuzzy... :laughing
Darrell Waltrip's last race call made it kind of cool too. As a kid I was hungry for racing of any kind and there was not much to be had on TV so I watched quite a bit of the circle track stuff during DW's hey day and before.
Pretty fun race.
