That Daytona Raceway is next to the airport? Sec pic shows the Wall( the banked oval)

You guys will never guess who I thought about seeing the track

I'm not into auto racing, but my sister seems a bit interested in it.

Yeah, I bet @Maggie3fan knew. I didn't know and my brother used to watch the Indy 500 all the time when he was alive. Sometimes, whenever the big race was on, I know nothing about it, we all had to watch it lol.

NASCAR headquarters is behind the signs

Yep. I knew. A few years back i drove down to Florida for a great kayaking trip in western coastal Florida. On the way back, wifey met me there in Daytona where we stayed another week.

I waited in the car phone car park for her flight to arrive.

I don't know what all this NASCAR business is about, but that is where they have the annual Daytona Supercross!!! Ricky Carmichael himself, the GOAT, usually designs the track layout. Epic.

I was there the first week in March from 1983 until 1998 for bike week.
Every year. I'd make motel reservations for next year in advance. Go home and start building a new bike for next year.

Motorcycling was SO DIFFERENT back then. It was only real motorcyclists. And it was great.
My buddies rode every make and model you can think of. But I usually had the fastest bike.
And probably the most annoying too.
ALWAYS a Kawasaki

ALWAYS a Kawasaki

Yes! I had a KZ 400 a loooooong time ago. I had never ever been on a motorcycle in my life, but went and bought one. A friend rode it home for me, then I taught myself how to drive it. After I learned to ride, I went to a safety course offered by Harley Davidson. They had a plant in my hometown where they made gas tanks for the hogs.

But I liked my little KZ...KZ were my maiden name initials! Only real problem I had was that I really couldn't reach the ground very well when I stopped. The seat was too high, or my legs too short . I had to be very cautious when stopping so as not to make a fool of myself at a busy intersection. 🥴

That's exactly how I feel about NASCAR. My sister says I am a BIT interested in NASCAR, a bit??? Jeffrey Dahmer was a BIT of a serial killer...lol, Dale Earnhardt was a BIT of a champion driver... (7 times champ) I leave church early on Sundays when the race starts early, I don't answer the door or phone...do not disturb me Fridays, Saturday or Sunday...I am watching NASCAR...I AM WATCHING NASCAR

and oh...I knew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really Tom...I don't believe that... You don't know? Not hardly

 

[jeff kushner]

Marks lot...i think. Kerry wanted to know why i HAD to stop for the pic.lol my oldest sister taught me to road race motorcycles in the mid 70's in the mountains above Boulder Co. ( penalties for mistakes are very high) then she came to Daytona and put a handlebar into her side and came home to Md on an ambulance plane..

You would love it down here Mags, just not when it's a 100F

 

[jeff kushner]

Waiting for our plane.. Had to post this for you Mags...best I can get from the airport

 

[Maggie3fan]
