Knoxville Lights

[MRM]

There are several tracks that have these new LED lighting systems. They're not cheap. Easily $500k depending on the size of the track and number of poles that are needed. I'd guess they have $750k+ in their setup.

I mean Knoxville racing is 10x better than Cherokee's. But that's just my opinion.

After 12 hour drive to get there? I’d rather put the money on Florida speedweeks and enjoy everything Florida has to offer.

The other thing is that Knoxville is a Sprint car haven. Let the sprint car peeps have it. That’s their domaine. Sprint cars are better there than late models, SRX OR NASCAR.

The people, food and beer at Knoxville are worth the 12 hour drive--and the racing program will be top notch. Agree it is Sprint Car hallowed ground, but they know how to put on a show (went to a night of the 360 nationals last year and show was complete by 9:30 that night). No dust, etc.- would be hard pressed to find anything that compares (and no way in the Charlotte area---Wythe if they ran a big show maybe).

A Musco PR stated a $1M lighting system was approved to be installed at the track. Wow.....

I'm still trying to figure out how tall walls make it hard for you to see? Do you also turn your radio down in the car when it's raining so you can see better?

Knoxville Sprint car nationals but not the rest of it. Honestly I’m not a fan of Armco like barriers at Knoxville.

Good one Zac. This made me laugh out loud.
