This Thread Will Take A Twist--
For CamaroGuy, DeMan, and GaryJ., even Seminolewind, about Raceways that have frontstretch grandstands about a Football Field sized distance away from the oval track action frontstretch.
All from the distance and use of a Dragway in the middle of them both.
This is not all that uncommon, as I will point out.
(And I probably should have started another thread on this such type of Raceway.)
Mountain Motor Speedway, in Kentucky, has a drag-strip along it's front stretch, and the seemingly frontstretch grandstands are a great distance away from the front-stretch of the oval.
Peach State Speedway, New Gresham Raceway, in Georgia as we have already talked about, once had a Drag-Strip in front of it's GrandStands. That is why it is as such. Now that the frontstretch is on the opposite side, I wonder what is giong to happen to the nice pit road, on the now seemingly, backstretch.
Eastside Speedway, in Virginia, Waynesboro, a 4/10 mile dirt oval, racing currently from what I've read, had a 1/8 mile dragstrip in 1967, in between the current grandstands and the frontstretch wall. Get out your bino's, as the oval surface is a 1/4 mile away from the top-spot on the grandstands.
I know it isn't perfect, but Grandstands are the way to go, it seems. But to strike an opposite chord, in the Tenn. Mountain Raceways, the best place to be is the Corner and Backstretch/Tiered/Mountain/Dirt Areas, watching racing best that they have to offer....and I've been told alot of stories from my racing friends.
