NASCAR to Rockingham

[steve y]

just a thought now we have endured NHL doing their Torvill & Dean impressions in body armour, the NBA playing netball with freaks of nature and the NFL rolling around in the mud at Wembley is it not our, the petrol heads of the UK to have their own slice of American sport and have a cup race at Rockingham I would love to see the likes of Gordon (weiner) and Johnson (weiner clone) doing battle over here. anyone think there is a chance?

Not in any of our lifetimes i'm afraid! (although I'd love to be proved wrong and would be first in the queue - have to stick with annual trip to Talladega instead.)

well I guess keep the fingers crossed and get my fix at Bristol!
the rockingham track is a copu of Indy hence the "square" track

I'd love to see the NNCS come to the UK, but somewhere like the Brands GP circuit. Can't see it happening though, there's no space in the schedule as it is - not that I'd mind if they dropped a 1.5 mile oval somwhere.

Hopefully I can get to the March Bristol race next year if I can get a ticket, not seen one live yet.

make every effort to get there, it is a brilliant race 43 cars charging round a 1/2 mile track 160,000 drunk rednecks great day out however don't be in a rush to leave cos the same drunk rednecks are all trying to get their RV'S onto the highway, kick back with a long neck and wonder how many days it will be before your hearing comes back the aug night race is also good although very hot.
