OK....What the hell is this track posing as Bristol???????

Thing is damn near as flat at Martinsville. Don't even think it's banked as much as the old Bristol..... *sigh*

If you are on the straights looking at the corners it doesn't look that big because you are already on a 16 degree bank on the straight. Also you can't notice the banking on the straight because of the bigger banking in the corners which make the straight look and feel flat.

Are you saying the real Bristol is flat? Then why do the commentators always mention the steepness of the bank?

Those are the published specs that the track likes to advertise, but if you've walked on or driven the track in real life you'd know the actual banking is no where close to that. -- Eric "rrevved" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Bristol has a 16 degree banking on the -straights-, which lead into > 36 degree banked turns.

It is different, isn't it :) I've deposited no less than 100 fenders on the exits of turns 2 and 4 already :) -Larry "Archangel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%Bph6.1503$[email hidden]... > Thing is damn near as flat at Martinsville.

Do you have any idea what the hell you are talking about?! I've driven RPDE on Bristol and believe me frenchie-IT AIN'T FLAT! As a matter of fact-the only thing that won't roll down from the top of the banking would be your flat head! ymenard <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Mmqh6.9825$[email hidden]...

While I haven't driven on the track, I have walked it more times than I can remember, and it certainly looks like accurate specs to me. I was there the time they set a VW beetle up against the wall between turns 1 & 2, pushed the car over, and rolled it down the banking. If those specs aren't accurate, then they are pretty damn close. Brett "Eric Busch" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:966lg4$nhh$[email hidden]...
