I enjoyed the race and yes it is always better in person but some can't make it to the track in-person. Walking the pits, watching the crews make adjustments, the smell of the engines, the aroma of gear lube, that first pass by you at speed, the engines having the throttle let off going into the corner, the rooster tails flying in the corner when they get into the fluff, the eyes of the drivers moments before going out to qualify, the impromptu crew meetings about what to change to get more speed, the smell of the midway food vendors, the gasp of the crowd when a car gets high in the corner, the booming announcer calling the race.

It's all part of the experience of going to the track that TV or streaking will never be able to either replicate or accurately be shown. They are things one must experience to fully appreciate.
