“ You have to run at 60mph to keep the rear end from sliding down on those steep banked turns...“
No kidding! I had the opportunity to drive that track last year and was amazed at how steep it is. It would be difficult to stand on one of the banks. Driving it was a thrill. Don’t know if I’d want to try it in the Beast though.
Early ‘70’s I woked for NASCAR driver Elmo Langley...
After the race at Daytona kids would get big cardboard boxes from the infield concessions and climb up the banks and slide down...Tiny “marbles” from the tires on the track would allow them to go down just like snow sledding...
They’ll take down to the bottom where it’s flat in the turns.
