"Short track" at Daytona...

[Jimmy McKinley]

Pits/"garage area" outside of the tracks/behind the grandstands.

I guess they consider that racing at Daytona.

If you can drift in the corners looks great. Drag race drift, drag race drift looks like it is gonna suck to me. Not only that if you have never sat in those superstretch stands when the sprint cup cars run you can barely see their roof the mods you won"t see anything.

Make the gokart track bigger for cars and pave it...and then run it weekly

[bubba]

Really hope they hold this at NSS next year...

[bowlegs]

I really thought you were kidding around with that photo. Teams are driving hundreds of miles for that? Esp when there are real short tracks not far from Daytona. And mod drivers have been avoiding NSs for this? Jeez

[Boneman]

Its going to be fine. The better drivers will find a way to make it work.

[Bigbuck]

I may be the only one feels this way but I just expected a little more from NASCAR. Kind of makes me question their agenda, but hey now the little guy can race at Daytona!!

From an owners point of view,if the track boundries inside and out are going to be tires you will either see a lot of torn up race cars or a very boring show. I will watch the first few minutes and then switch to Bones for some real entertainment. I hope the tickets aren,t to $$$ and parking not a nightmare for those who attend. The one positive aspect that I can see is track testing costs all you need is a vacant parking lot and some cones.

This will be interesting to see. Hopefully they at least put some "K" barriers in the middle, would hate to see someone crossover after a spin and have a head-on collision. Good Luck and Be Safe!

[Matt Albee]

NASCAR sure broke the bank building that short track. Smart planning on their part though, they can take the show on the road in the future and set it up in any mall parking lot.

That first pic is a little deceiving. Tire bariers are the INSIDE of the track and the pic doesn't show the continuous corner wall with tires covered by fabric. Yellow line is the inside of the racetrack. Check out SPEED51.coms minute-by-minute coverage with pics at this link:
