        I've never been to either track but I have watched a few races on TV.
That by no means makes me any kind of an expert, so hopefully someone
will stand up and correct me..

        The differences between Talladega and Daytona are very minor.  Daytona
is skinnier, and the banking os only slightly different from Talladega.
So, Width and Banking.

        As far as GPL is concerned, Since GPL can't handle the big banks
because of programing issues, I'd say that Daytona would not be a good
choice for converting.  Just my opinion though.

For online racing it could be ok.....it would be trickier to keep the cars
pointing the right way and not hitting the walls...

but Id rather see INDIANAPOLIS converted from n3 to gpl...they raced there
in 66, and it is the spiritual home of open wheel in the states.

i want both, and a chance at an f1 seat in the near future, then over to
cart, then onto nascar where i can spend my later years, oh, and a Le Mans,
IRL at INDY (unless its back in CART by then...), Daytona 24, and a race win
in GPL at the Nurburgring....then id die happy....oh, and a round of golf at
the auguster masters course.
