The Pocono Model

[luke81]

At the rate they are shrinking the seating it won't be long and Bristol will have the largest capacity. If the France boys (Big Bill/Bill Jr. were men) had any cajones they would cover Bristol in clay and see how many people come to see and see what the TV ratings are as well. Oops I just woke up from napping.

It's been done. The show wasn't great, look it up on YouTube.

ScottGarrity07 - Haha yeah I remember that! The mud hole in turn 1 was always good for some action. Then one year the hooter patrol got so big they had a helicopter dust storm us all.

Ah, yes. The Hooter Patrol. (.Y.) Maybe that's why I remember Pocono so fondly.

Leave the dirt for tractors to plow, take the front straight and build it into a 3/4 oval just like Richmond. Park motorhomes and cars round the old track. I don't know about you guys but Richmond puts on a show.

There used to be a 3/4 mile flat true oval that used most of the frontstretch at Pocono. Every fall they had an event called the Race of Champions for NASCAR Tour-Type Modifieds and Street Stocks. It's a race I wish I'd gotten to run in but they stopped having it at Pocono. I heard all the racers had a blast on and off the racetrack. Here's some crude video. Notice how full the grandstand is:
