Bristol track record

The thing I don't get is why they are going to film it on March 19, all the diehards will get the lap times off twitter, and watch it on Youtube three minutes after it happens. Then wait until April 2nd to show it on TV.

I'd say with the wider track surface, shorter straightaways and wider turns Eldora should be no doubt faster then Bristol. This is Eldora laid over top of Bristol with the outside wall of 1 and 2 tangent.

The last time there was a "this 1/2 mile track is faster" discussion, I had put together Eldora, Toledo and Winchester. Of course the banking isn't accounted for on all these tracks.

That's right Bristol is .533.

Bristol covered in dirt was the craziest thing I have ever watched! Brian Paulus crushed a car like a tin can...it was scary fast even more than Eldora. The wind was crazy in the stands after 3 laps also.

i had two hometown boys ( Denny Schwartz, Michael Bradley) qualify for the main in the mods, and they said it was scariest place they ever ran... Scarier than Springfield and DuQuoin

I think the 2 Supers will be real fast. Maybe too fast!
