For your first in person race I would suggest Bristol night race, or Martinsville. It used to be that you couldn't get tickets to either Bristol race but with the ecomony you can get them now. The short tracks are so awesome, you are on the "side of a bowl" and the noise is intense and you can see the whole track and it is just awesome. I am one of the lucky ones who has always had tickets, most times I go but everyonce in a while life gets in the way and I gift them to my Dad and his wife or one of my friends or sisters. I have been to Dayton twice and don't really like it because you cant see the cars half of the time. It is way too big of a track.
She's right. My first race was Bristol. Jr won both races that weekend, Have been hooked on live racing ever since. Cant touch the rush of a race by watching it on TV. The noise and the smell awesome.
