Some of the better sprint drivers enjoy road racing: Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Cole Whitt...just to name a few.
It's a pure form of racing, something very natural about pushing the limits where every corner is unique and as elevation changes. I particularly enjoyed racing with multiple classes (i.e. American LeMans).
:Steer:Steerdrastic closing rates, varying braking distances, traffic, numerous races within the greater race...I'm getting all worked up just thinking about it:kookoo
You are definately not alone in your road racing affection. I enjoy watching a good road race, but can't stand a one lane street course. I like to see passing, and a good road race has plenty, a one lane street course has virtually none. These cars on a road course could be pretty cool, but I don't know what the interest level would be. I would be interested, but I'm not likely to drive much farther than Indy to see them. What road racing venues are the in the midwest that would be suitable? Indy, Mid Ohio? I'm sure there are more, but none come to mind.
