100 races before you die

davidm · 10/31/08, 2:16 PM

I did this about the same time last year at TrackForum. Will be interesting to see what changes there are from last years results.

Let’s compile a list of the top 100 racing events and or tracks that you should attend before you die. I'll compile the list one week from today 11-7-08.

List five events at a time, it's OK to post more than once and duplicate to events that others have posted. The event or track with the most votes gets #1 and so on.

My 2008 votes.

1) Indy 500
2) Monoco Grand Prix
3) Belleville Midget Nationals
4) Oswego Classic
5) Bathurst 1000

I have no doubt that most of you attend nothing but open wheel races. I go to both because I have seen some awesome late-model races at Eldora. To this day the 2006 World 100 was probably the best race I have ever seen. The #55 of Jeep Van Wormer was pushing his car so hard that he was dragging (barely I might add) his right rear corner of his car coming off 4 throwing sparks in probably 50-60 of the 100 laps. Maybe you just had to be there. Back in the day, I would have added Daytona 500, 2 Bristol races and Darlington. NASCAR is just not that great anymore, 15-20 years ago it was pretty good.

I would add"
World 100
Eldora Dream
Kings Royal
Talladega
USAC race at Bloomington
