    I was here for this! This is my first racing memory and boy did it set that bug in me! I was just at the track TODAY with my kids! It was my Father's day gift and the first thing normal since well 2020 obviously. Cool memory from then, today, and all the times in between. Such a cool track to watch from you can literally walk the whole track and watch every turn, straight, and chicane 20 feet from the track at 75% of it. Really only the front stretch being the furthest from the track and you can view it from so many angles to make up for the distance.

    Golden era of WSC racing. Nissan and Porsche w turbo 6 cyl, Toyota w turbo 4 cyl, Chevy V8, and Jaguar V12! All analog, no driver aids, pure racecars. Now racing in the Labor Day classic races.
