My Daytona 500 Pics

[flotsamnjetsam]

I posted this in the Racing Forum, but since it gets so little traffic I'm posting it here too.


I'm not a huge NASCAR fan but a friend of mine had an extra ticket & I couldn't turn down the chance to see a race. What better than the 50th Daytona 500! It was a blast and I'd go again for sure.


Enjoy!

Cool! Looks like you had pretty nice seats with a good view of the track.

I was expecting more pictures of NASCAR chicks in tube tops though.

Those are awesome man. I was never a huge racing fan, but last year went to 3 races here in Texas and just loved it. I was fortunate enough to have a friend that had pit passes and could get down there and mingle with the drivers and crews it was just a blast. I am pretty hooked now. Daytona was some race too. I was bummed Tony couldn't pull it out though...

Those are great pics. Except the one of the guy's arm who has Leporacy.

Haha...I noticed that too. "What the hell is wrong with that guy's arm..."

A bruise perhaps? Birth mark?

Right on man, cool pics.

I still just don't get the fascination people have with watching cars drive in a circle for hours and hours, but to each his own I guess. It's probably like a lot of things, you have to experience it to understand it....I dunno. I've always thought NASCAR was kinda wasteful.

Glad you had a good time though flots.

Oh and that 50's "Midnight Moon" car is sweet!

Thanks!


I'm still not "hooked" like Swiper said, but I look at it a little differently now. I'd go again for sure. Next time I'd get the Fanzone passes that allow you on the track before the race. They cost an extra $90, but by the time I knew I was going they were sold out and going for $200 or more. If I go next year I'll get my ticket & fanzone pass early.

You need to see the party to truly appreciate it. It's one of the biggest and best you can ever go to...

Looks like we have a few potential converts waiting to take the plunge in to full-blown fandom.

I love it. Bristol is great if you ever get an opportunity to go there but Daytona is king as well. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Nice pics. The one track I want to go to above all is Darlington. That is one bad track. I'm anxious to see what the resurfacing will do to the racing. That track had a surface similar to cheese graters. I hope the new pavement doesn't ruin the racing.

I'm really hoping Kentucky Speedway gets a date soon. It's a fun little short track that thinks it's a mile-and-a-half'er. It's pretty similar to Richmond. It would be much better than those boring Cali races.

Sweet pics. I'm trying to watch it more this year. I want to go to a race. I think that'll get me into it.
