Have fun...........It should be sold out.
Notes from Jr’s old PR guy now working for KHI.
Headed off to Richmond for Friday’s full day of action. It’s always a track I look forward to, so I figured I’d make a goofy list of my fave tracks to attend and a few reasons why. Your mileage may vary.
1.) Richmond — Nightmare traffic can hamper the experience, but there is absolutely no better racing at any other track on the circuit. Side-by-side action lap-after-lap. A short track that races like a superspeedway. Plus, they race at night, so watch the cars glitter, the pipes belch flames and the brakes glow cherry-red. A great atmosphere - and it’s really about the racing.
Someone asked for the entire TV schedule, so here it is.

I’ve never been to a race at RIR, but I’ve lived in Richmond twice, and once around 1996, I got accidentally caught in Sunday morning raceday traffic on Laburnum Avenue headed toward the Fairgrounds. Oh man, never again. It’s a great facility, but access into the Fairgrounds complex is HORRIBLE. The only upside is that if you come in through Richmond on Laburnum, you get a nice slow drive through some very pretty old neighborhoods. And if that one morning is still any indication, you get a LOT of time to admire the houses...
