Foy I am definately enjoying this insight that you have been posting on this thread. I myself have been to Bristol several times but always the day race, in fact I'll probably be going to Bristol again in March (even though the date is too early and it'll be cold!). I would love to go to the August race but I get March tickets for free and August tickets are just too expensive. The only thing I'm mad about is that I planned on going to the Gatornationals in Gainesville this year and it's the very same weekend! I haven't been to an NHRA event since the 06 US Nationals in Indianapolis (when I lived in Kentucky I went to that event every year). I have decided that I am going to be heading over to Daytona for a day in early January for Daytona 500 testing, and I am going to start my road trip the next day! I'll probably miss the Rolex 24 but I will be back to attend the 500 as well as some of the events at Volusia Speedway and some preliminary events. Simply put, it's going to be a busy but fun couple of weeks!
