I haven't watched it or payed attention to it in 15-20 years. That's crazy they stopped all the infield fun. I've never went to a race but my uncle use to go with all his friends for the weekend in the rv. They always had some wild stories. It's true. All of it. I used to have a pretty nice Nikon. My dad found a stash of my Dega pictures in an old drawer and called me and told me he'd appreciate me not leaving stuff like the around his house for.my.mom to find. Hell I was just glad she didn't find them and call.my wife. 😁 You still got em?

And as much as I used to like hot rods and muscle cars getting in and out of something that close to the ground is for the birds. That's a young man's game. I do not have any problem getting in or out of my Benz roadster. and I'm 75 ... but I ain't most guys. also gotta consider that a new Camry is faster than most muscle cars ... and stops a lot better.

I'm 6'4" 300+. And after 6 years of football, and trying to launch a Suburban like the general Lee and 3 broke vertebrae, being abused like a borrowed mule the first 15 years in the trade I like my truck. If the seats in my dad's old town car were about 6 inches higher I'd buy one.

Hope you find a comfortable ride.

If the seats in my dad's old town car were about 6 inches higher I'd buy one. less and less of the Town Car out there. He had 3 over the years. The 97 was the nicest IMO it had the Camel leather seats. And it rode the best. The later ones were nice as well. BUt nothing like the first one. The 2nd one somebody ran a red-light and destroyed. It was an HVAC companies van. How it didn't kill my mom and dad I don't know. The last one he had got crappy mileage compared to the other 2 and it was identical except the color and a couple of years newer than the 2nd. He gave the 97 to my brother. Who did what my brother does and tore it up. The last one he sold to my oldest son for 1200 🙄 The first thing he did was drill a hole in the gas tank trying to put a speaker Box in the trunk. I'm just over there like gee dad thanks. I would have gladly paid more for either one. But I seldom get to be part of those conversations. Oh well suxks being the responsible son sometimes

Hope you find a comfortable ride. Lol. I was always a big kid for my age. But one night between 7th and 8th grade I went to sleep a young litely chubby teenager and woke up the next morning a 6'4" 250lbs man with my feet hanging off the bed. It literally happened over night. Over the next few years I lived in the gym and on the football field and basketball courts. Sr year I was 295 and wore 36x34 britches. I'd kill to have those same shoulders I had back then. Traps to die for. And thighs galore. I'm a lot softer these days. Mentally and physically 😁

It would be a fun trip to make but I haven't lost anything down there so will watch it on TV.
Just got our tickets for the Bristol Night race. This will be our 31st year going. Place has changed a lot.

Wanna see real fun racing? Go to Bowman gray stadium in Winston Salem, NC.
Home of "NASCAR's longest-running weekly race track".
Opened 1937, still open, paved in 1947, home to the Legends.

Been to Bowman Gray several times.
NASCAR Cup will run Bowman Gray again in 2025 for The Clash.

Mexico City eh? I lived there 6 years. There is a ton of money looking for events like this. The grift will be enormous to the connected guys. TV Azteca will broadcast it, and Claro will have promo rights and the same old dinosaurs get richer. I guess its the same in the USA but the have a special way of doing it there, its a small club.
At least the hookers will have a good month.
