Yes, that with Monza's old oval and not to mention Brooklands in the UK were great racing venues during the 1900s' into about the 1940s'.

Interesting read and they track looks like it could be part of some gigantic bobsled run.

[Charlie Spencer]

Ya start at the top and race down,right?

I thought it was Martinsville when I first glanced at it.

Thats a joke right

This has to be a joke

 

[HoneyBadger]

Reminds me of Winchester

 

[Johali]

Holy Moly.

Someone needs to build something along these lines and NASCAR needs to run on it. Lol. Would be awsome. Make A 2 mile oval with those corners.

Nope I love high banks

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Remember the good ol' days when we used to want to knock down the banking at Talladega and Daytona? Boy, how times change.

You're right; this is a much better approach. Close them and let the weeds take over.

 

[Brigeton]

Yup, while I look forward to Datona to see cars on the track again If I was king they wouldn't race on anything longer than a mile.

 

[Pat]

That is insane! Terrordome indeed. I would not take a tour of that.

I believe I said that would be the worst thing they could ever do.

 

[DIDIT]

What the heck, turning right on an oval?

 

[aunty dive]

What the heck, turning right on an oval?

That track ran clockwise.

 

[DanicaFreak]

I wonder what speeds a NASCAR vehicle would achieve on that track....

In April 1957, Pat O'Connor, a USAC superstar of the day, came to Monza for tire testing with Firestone's test car. O'Connor ran 226 miles at an average of 163.4 mph, putting in a best lap faster than 170.

The following month, O'Connor took the Indianapolis 500 pole at just short of 144 mph.

Banking. How about AVUS?

The next thing nascar needs is for someone to blow a RF tire headed into that banking

 

[Charlie Spencer]

That's what this thing needs - VARIABLE BANKING!!!

 

[Mr. E]

This is also some serious banking.

[Bucky Badger]

No soft walls. What were they thinking.

 

[Jonesi]

Banking. How about AVUS?

While the two ends were interesting the middle was very boring. No cork-screw or loop-de-loops.

Imagine the jet dryers going around that after a rain storm.
