First regular season game is October 2, and as usual with that, it looks like nascar helped plan the schedule.

I've been to funny car races and had a blast, but not 3 hours long of sitting in the sun as a ginger...

Not due to heat though, just because Nascar lost the plot.. But it's in my blood, so can't NOT watch on Tv. Local short tracks is where you get your feet wet and find the fix!! :P

Haven't been to the Drags since moving to Fl, nearly 30 years ago.. :(
