I've been to all of the big Neckcar tracks and races there's nothing close to this race. Especially back in the 70's and 80's from a fan POV. It was absolute mayhem back then. I've got so many memories from that race back then it's crazy. I went down last weekend for qualifying and practice. I had never sat in turn one for anything there until last weekend, my god. I ducked the first time a car came at me at 240mph lol. If anyone's never been, make it a bucket list entry even if you don't like auto racing. Its a thrill ride.
