Once again SkyDancer knows best. Here I was thinking that watching 3 hours of competitive racing from roaring V8's,walking round the pits on a sunny afternoon, seeing the whole track from a seat, using clean well stocked restrooms and going to and from the circuit in clean efficient charter train was somehow a good day out !
When actually I could spend that same day standing on a muddy grass bank in the peeing rain watching 10 secs of bikes go past on the 200 yds of track I choose to watch, put my wellies on to go to the bathroom while taking a fresh copy of the Sun with me because there sure as hell won't be any toilet roll, and go back to my now blocked in car in a gress field and wait 2 hours to get out of the circuit.
Sky I've done my share of the UK circuits. Worked for 3 years on club level race cars (BRSCC etc) every summer weekend at every cicuit in the country (except Knockhill) - please don't try to educate me on the UK racing scene.
This was a light hearted look at my first experience of NASCAR live and that was all. You insisted on bringing the "UK is better" theme into it and trust me - we lose on this one. If we can ever get ASCAR in the media at places like Rockingham then maybe the UK motorsport industry will look up.
