Cheap tix? How's this...My wife an I were planning on a week-long vacation in the Darlington/Charlotte area, to include the race. Because we live in San Diego, it wasn't going to be cheap. Anyway, with rain in the forecast we are opting to cancel. This leaves us with a couple of tix. I will...

Every few years we get a chance to travel to a race. Living in San Diego we have Vegas, Phoenix and Fontana close by, but races just aren't the same out here. So, this year we're packing up and making the trip to Darlington. Previous trips have been to Rockingham and Bristol. Next? Probably...

We're flying into Charlotte on Wed 8/30. Looking for something to do on Thursday 8/31before heading to Darlington for the race. Would race shop tours be available just a couple days before the race? Would anyone even be around? Thx.

Am I dreaming, or does the Camero pace car ride height look higher than stock?

Thanks much.

Thanks for all the input. Much appreciated. Taking everything into consideration I opted to purchase another scanner. Ordered a Uniden BC75XLT from Amazon. Reading the reviews and the many of the questions/responses, I feel pretty comfortable this will work out. We'll see.

Scanner long gone. Even with the manual nobody could program/figure it out. Is MRN the only option for "at track" broadcasts? Only FM.

Thx

Years ago we purchased a scanner. Took it to a few races, and despite help from several sitting around us, never could figure out how to use it. We're getting ready for a cross country trip to Darlington and need to get a new one. We're more interested in listening to the MRN broadcast than...

After a race, and engines are torn down, what pieces, if any, are re-used? Are the blocks and cylinder heads generally good for multiple races? Cams? Pistons?

5 until the last ten laps. 12 after that.

Without a doubt, my '66 Ram Air GTO. I bought it in late '67 from a neighbor who was drafted. Didn't know It at the time, but it was a 1/174 car. To date, none have been located/restored. Would be priceless today. The "XS" engines were cammed differently from the standard Tri-Powers. Also...

Just bought my Southern 500 tix along with shuttle tix from the Florence, SC Civic Center. Never been. Anyone care to make a recommendation w/regard to a hotel? I think we'd like to stay close in to town. Thanks.

Undoubtedly, and all through this weekend's race, the subject of engine failure will arise. For good reason, to be sure. So, are engines (torerances, I suppose) built any different for 600 miles. If so, it would seem logical that a Charlotte/600 mile engine might be down a bit on HP. Or, if...

So, why is Ford doing better this season. Only so many variables...drivers, engines, chassis.

A while back I was told Bristol and Martinsville ratios were in the 5s. Pretty steep, if accurate.

What's the range of gear ratios Cup cars run during the season? Martinsville and Bristol the same? How about Daytona/Indy/Talladega? All 1.5 mile tracks the same? Thanks.

Pardon if this is a previously discussed topic. 1sr post. Are there any sections at Darlington and Matinsville that have individual seats vs. bench seating? Wife has a bum leg. Anyone have access to this info on other tracks? I know Indy has some. Thanks.
