NAC: NASCAR and other oval track racing

[moore01 at fuse.net]

NASCAR is something you have to taste to appreciate.  Case in point, our BMW Z3 club goes to Winchester Speedway, the fast true half mile track in the nation, once a year for a club drive.  Tony Stewart holds the track record there.  Something like 130 mph-ish, going like 160 ish into turn 3.  We have a '98 M roadster.  I went 100 into turn 3.  The suction of my 'you know what' was enough to keep me on the track.  I can't even imagine Stewart's speed, not to mention having a pack of cars out there.  And, I'm no $%&&y!  The calmest I've ever felt was the first time I nav'ed in rally.  Really.
