Southern 500? Thanks anyway but I haven't gone to it in years.
I've become too much of a candy ass to subject myself to a full day in the heat. The drive home at night after the long day was bad enough when I lived 90 minutes from the track, all interstate. Since we moved last year, it's now closer to 3 hours, half of that with stop lights and small towns, and I've decided to stop going in the spring too. I can barely stay awake for the whole race from the sofa, and I can only pull that off with the help of the race discussion here.
I didn't renew for the Roval this year either. It was two hours from the old house, again all interstate. Now, about a third of that single lane that hasn't been paved since Sherman's horses broke their shoes on it. I went last year and knew halfway there that it would be my last one.
Hopefully, Rockingham will remain on the schedule. That's still an easy drive.
