What is the 1st race u went to?

The first race i went to was a Truck Series race in Topeka Kansas, in like 1997 or 1998

My grandpa and Dad would always tell me that Rusty Wallace was a cry baby. So we went to the Truck race and i got Mike Wallac's autograph and i said to my dad right in front of Wallace "Is he a crybaby too?"

For somereason i just remebered that and since that was my frist race i just wanted to know the first Nascar race that u all went to and what made it special

Re: What is the 1st race u went to?

I was a Nascar fan for years, but living in Northern California, there wasnt much racing going on around there until Winston Cup came to Sears Point (now Infineon) in 1989. I went to the first race there, and the next 5 or 6 after that. Ricky Rudd won the first one at that track. The track back then looks nothing like it does now. They have bulldozed hills down, added huge grandstands, and large monitors. Back in the day, you sat on the hillsides and watched the races on a much twistier track than it is now. Tickets were $20. I quit going when it got way too expensive and having to deal with insane traffic. I must be getting old.

Hi, Hexkrak, glad you found GoTeamsGo. I live in Portland, do you? I remember before I was a Nascar fan, I went to the Saturday of the IRL Race and they had a Winston West race. Our seats were right in front of the shakane ( not sure if I spelled it right) and I had sooo much fun. This is an extremely fun site.

Re: What is the 1st race u went to?

I used to live in Salem, but I moved down to Arizona now, and the funny thing is the "international raceway" in both locations is PIR so I never missed a beat when finding out what race to go to! Hah!

Feels like Arizona today here, 91 outside right now and my house has no a/c. I put central a/c in my last house, then i moved a year later. Good for me!

Re: What is the 1st race u went to?

Portsmouth Ohio a zillion years ago, don't even remember the name of the track. My frist boy friend was a driver. 1st Nascar was oct.2004 at Atlanta Speedway. Best time I've ever had. And that includes the Drag Race my 1st husband and I went to on our Honeymoon.

Re: What is the 1st race u went to?

my first race I can't evan remember cause I was just 3 or 4 years old, my father ran the figure 8 class at Dorsey Speedway in Howard county Maryland from 70-75.

my first Nascar race was the busch race at Dover Downs in Sept. 91, the busch race got rained out and we got really, really drunk.
sunday we went to the cup race and got only real drunk.stayed until monday and caught the busch race.

one thing I remember was going to pizza hut sunday night(that was a long fun night) and they had kroaky. 1 guy singing looked just like Harry Gant.

but Harry had won the race, remember Mr. September.

Re: What is the 1st race u went to?

I have never been to a race, but watch when I can on the TV.

I would like to go to Bristol for the night race in AUG and to any Talladega NASCAR event.

Done and done.

Re: What is the 1st race u went to?

The first race I went to was at Michigan! I would watch racing on tv and wasn't into it at all. I had to go to a race and it was fantastic! I had borrowed a headset from a family friend so I could listen to the driver and crew chief-I had the illegal ones, but to watch and listen in on what was going on made it a fantastic time! Also to camp out by the track is an experience in itself! Its like Mardi Gras! LOL!

I went to Talladega last Oct., planning on going again this Oct-hopefully! It was a blast, so far thats my favorite track. Also for anyone, if you go their and want to eat at a fantastic restaurant, eat at Montanas-excellent food and a good place to see drivers or pit crew come in to eat!
