DARLINGTON RACEWAY
The track "Too Tough To Tame" IS the lady in black. Nascar's very first paved speedway is home to legend. Names like Pearson, Waltrip, Earnhardt still ring in the stands. Never a dull moment this joint will never forgive stupidity. Getting a "Darlington Stripe" and surviving is in itself a trophy.
Built in 1949 over old cotton farmlands the first race was Labor Day 1950 which lasted just over 6 hours! This joint is different as no two turns are the same.
This weekend has scheduled 4 practice sessions before qualifying. Why? Just paved last fall a tire test showed speeds at 200 mph going into turn 3! That's pfuking insane. I expect some damage from practice alone.
Truly a sight for sore eyes this place is famous for tight finishes as depicted below. A great show for even the casual fan. Clair, you know you wanna watch! :hihi:
