> [@TrueBlue](#): > > yeah, I think the max weight is @35-3600 lbs. they’re pretty far from high-tech, a brute-force car. Yeah, but how much of that weight is ballast… You know they build them to be as light as possible so they can put the ballast where it will help them the most. I bet they have 200-300lbs in those cars that they don’t need. Oh, and congrats on the drive. I know I’d love to do it… ---

> [@Twizted](#): > > id take a bristol/richmond night race over the daytona 500 anyday I’ll be at all of the above mentioned races. Bristol is definitely the favorite track to watch. Its literally like watching a race in a football stadium. I watched the Sharpie 500 from the pits this year, and I forgot the damn ear plugs. Bad mistake… I’ll have to watch it from our suite next year. Free open bar…:beer2: ---
