Top five events

[quote=Bill Howell]Yep! Season tickets, row 9 aisle seat start/finish, reserved section! I have had them for about 5 years now. However, there are no bad seats at Bristol, racing the way it ought to be


No doubt, Bristol night race is awesome. Last year I was able to get hot passes and watch the entire race from Dale Jr's pits. That had to be one of my top five.

1. 24 of Spa
2. 24 of the 'Ring
3. 24 of LeMans
4. Monaco GP
5. 1000 of Bathurst (Australia)
6. F1 at Road America/Laguna Seca. I had to add this one in if Bernie ever gets of off his arse and realized this is where it needs to be.

I read that Bernie has sold a significant amount of his stake in the F1 franchise, I think there was an article in Racer magazine this past issue. It implied that there was a desire for the new majority stakeholder to move into a different direction with F1, but it further implied the nasty word "profit" (which from a business standpoint is not a bad thing, but greed forces bad decisions).

I'd have to agree with several of you guys, my list would include LeMans, Spa, Monaco, US GP at a place other than Indy (Road America/Atlanta, or possibly the brand new track outside of Salt Lake City that is supposed to be World Class), and probably Goodwood. Other than that, any Sports Car racing event, anywhere, anytime.

Daytona Speedweeks as a whole 24 Hours thru the Daytona 500
NHRA Finals at Pamona
Formula 1 at Monaco
Silver State Classic
Bonneville

These would constitute a "pie in the sky" dream fullfilment.

A more realistic list would be
NHRA Southern Nationals at Commerce
A Darlington race renamed the Southern 500
Turkey Rod Run
ECTA Standing mile in Maxton, NC
Open track day at either Roebling Road or Carolina Motorsports Park

My 5 favorite so far:
Street Machine Nationals in the 80's
Goodguys Indy, Columbus, or Pleasanton
Barrett Jackson Scottsdale
Bondurant Driving School
Year One Experience
Drag Week [I know, that's 6]

What I want to go to yet:
Maxton
Silver State
One Lap
Hotrod's Open Track Smackdown in October
Great Race

Races/Events I attend almost religiously:

NHRA Winternationals and Finals in Pomona. 1st and last race of the year.
US Open of Supercross in Vegas. Along with 3-4 Local races (2-3 Anaheim's and San Diego)

US World Cup downhill race (mountain bike) Used to race, now it's just for the party.

Daytona Bike Week (includes a killer SX as well)

SEMA. Everyone has to go just once

Need to add an F1 and WRC event to the list.


Races I would like to enter:

Unlimited @ Silverstate. My first time this year being there and it's a fantastic event. Going to do some driving come september.

Gumball 3000

Year One event and/or Power Tour.

Hopefully hitting speed week @ bonneville next year as well.

Did anybody see the replay lastnight on SPEED of the Monaco practice session? INCREDIBLE! Like they said last night, "Monaco is one of those tracks that you realize that no matter how much practice you could have you probably couldn't do what those drivers are doing." It is insane just how fast those guys are going from the tunnel and through the twisties along the waterfront.
