        Moto and a couple drag races. It's redneck as can be, but I like watching demo derbys at the county fairs around here. You'll see some very good entertainment at those things.

            I take in 8-10 asphalt late model races a year just to remind me how much better it is to watch racing on dirt.

              Went to the Nashville Fairgrounds speedway this year in July and plan on going to Memphis this weekend to a street Outlaws drag race all the ones from that show suppose to be there. Don't know if I can get back into the drag racing or not since it's been 20 years probably since I been too one.

                I leave in a couple of days for Austin, Texas to watch some Formula 1 cars parade around. Ever since I was little I've been fascinated by the cars. I feel so proud to have an American team finally, and they are even competetive (in relation.)

                A bucket list item is to make it to the Isle of Man TT. That looks amazing. The speeds those guys run, incredible.

                    I wanted to add this: It was Memorial Day weekend and there was a group a older vets in the infield as honor guard during the National Anthem. As they were walking back toward their seats along the front of the grandstands, applause started, slowly at first, until soon everyone was standing and applauding.

                      We attended the Little 500 wingless sprint car race at Anderson Speedway in Anderson, Indiana for the 5th time on May 27th. And the day after the Little 500 we attended our 33rd consecutive Indianapolis 500.

                      We went to a St. Louis Cardinal baseball game in July. It was our 1st time at the new Busch Stadium and we had some premo seats just 3 rows back directly behind the Cardinal dugout. We had a great time at that deal.

                      For all you "dirt late model or nothin'" folks I'd strongly and sincerely suggest you put the Little 500 on your list of things to do and get yourself a ticket. I do not enjoy asphalt racing but the Little 500 is an event that transcends track surfaces and race car genre's. It is one of the coolest events of any kind we've ever attended.

                        Former co worker of mine has went to Austin at least twice.

                        I'd like to hit Austin cause it's got a great reputation as a cool city. And also the Singapore one because it looks awesome, and obviously Monte Carlo.
                        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                          33 sprints on a 1/4 mile for 500 laps with live pit stops. I'll have to get there sometime soon.

                            yessir dmr37, they start 11 rows of 3 and when they pit under green the push trucks sometimes have to to about a 1/4 of a lap on the apron. It is one of the most chaotic and exciting events in the world.

                            Treat yourself to the Little 500, it's something you'll not regret and won't ever forget!

                              I've heard the same about Austin, this will be my first trip down to the Circuit of the Americas, so I am hoping it lives up to the hype. I went to 2 of the Indy F1 races and they were a bunch of fun too.

                              Monte Carlo would be amazing. What a backdrop for a race. Never thought I would talk about Formula 1 on 4m. Although, I am just as excited to watch the annual Harvest Cup race at Tri State Speedway in Haubstadt the following weekend.

                                Yeah. Racing is racing, dunno who all the drivers are anymore. Who drives for the American team?
