Re: Now there are some dedicated racing fans.....
Per Google Translate:
What crazy thing did you do to see your team? In Poland, the national team championship of these bikes causes madness. As stadiums cannot occupy more than 25% of their capacity, fans of the Mecz Motor Lublin rented 18 cranes to see their racers.
I wonder if any NASCAR fans have done this yet. I have not heard of this occurring but it would not surprise me.

Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Re: Now there are some dedicated racing fans.....
Every NASCAR speedway on the circuit is surrounded by at least 100 yards of property owned by the speedway.....I can't imagine a scenario where the speedway would allow that.pinnacle-project wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 8:31 amI wonder if any NASCAR fans have done this yet.

The speedways used to allow fans to construct all kinds of crazy scaffolding in the infield "back in the day". Now you can sit on top of your vehicle/motorhome but aren't allowed to construct anything on top that is higher than a handrail.

Re: Now there are some dedicated racing fans.....
Yes, I thought that was probably the case. The one exception might be Phoenix. I assume the speedway does not own Rattlesnake Hill.kamsquared wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 1:07 pmEvery NASCAR speedway on the circuit is surrounded by at least 100 yards of property owned by the speedway.....I can't imagine a scenario where the speedway would allow that.pinnacle-project wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 8:31 amI wonder if any NASCAR fans have done this yet.
