Nascar 2009

I resemble that remark!

I've had season passes to the races in Nashville for several years. This year with a season pass ticket, they are including admission to the driver's meetings. That would be interesting to attend, but sadly I think I'll have to pass this year.

I wish Memphis (sister track to N'Ville) would do that. Had season tix for years and the only way I can ever get pics of drivers is by fighting my way to the front of the mosh-pit at the fence during intros, LOL. Nashville is a nice track. I have been there for a motorcycle race, but not NASCAR.

I, LOL. Nashville is a nice track. I have been there for a motorcycle race, but not NASCAR.

Dirt or street bikes?

I love the smell of castrol!

CM,
I caught some of the TS program, as a kid he looked nothing like he does today. I think it's the cheeks.

whatever bikes these are:

I know I've got pictures from Nashville somewhere, but can't find them I guess I never put them online.

Yes, street bikes! Suzukis! The dirtbikes with street tires are very popular in Europe and are classed as "Motorads"

Those guys are fun to watch, especially in the turns.

The Daytona Class races that were run here at AAA raceway will be televised on Saturday night on SPEED, 8 p.m. EST!

I have been a volunteer at the Barber Motorsport park for both the AMA Superbike championship series and the Gran-Am Series. This gives me free admission to the the WERA Regionals. aTailOf2Kitties the races you had in Memphis were WERA Regionals. I have worked my way into the VIP hospitality lounge for my volunteer work. I get to see all the racers and a birds eye view of the races. They just completed testing here for Indi cars and it looks like we will be getting an Indi race soon.I hope we can get a American Lemans series race here in the future. Barber is world class so eventually they will have a full calender. Between Barber and Talladega I get to see some great racing. I have been thinking of Volunteering at Talladega also.

yeah the bike races I went to were WERA. My bf's highschool buddy was racing for a while in that series and my bf and I were his onofficial crew, LOL. I've been to Talladega and Nashville bike races. We were busy when he went to Barber. He had a kid a couple years ago so he's kinda sittin' it out awhile. I'm not into motorcycles too much, but I do like taking picures and getting out of town for a weekend.

I've only seen NASCAR races at Memphis and the rare trip to the drag strip.

I used to be real big into motorcycles. I owned a Yamaha/Suzuki Dealership. My son Raced Motocross and we were on the road all the time with him racing. He was really quite good until he got a girl friend and discovered SEX. I couldn't convince him he had his whole life to be a lover but only a short time to be a top Motocrosser. He is 46 now and often tells me how stupid he was back then.

You need to come to Barber if you get the chance, It is world class and the Barber Motorcycle museum is unreal. I will go to 2 motorcycle and 2 car events there this year, plus we have our Audi Club meet there every year. I even get on the track a little. I don't race but we get some laps as club members.
