What race to see ?

[Fredman]

Ok, what races in the USA are you folks just dying to see ?

HERE ARE THE RULES:

1) You can pick up to three races/event weekends, you cannot say something like 'any IRL race', you must choose the venue.

2) You CANNOT pick the Indy 500, the Daytona 500, the Firecracker 400, or the Talladega races. Other than those, anything goes, including slot races, yacht races and air races.

Be sure to say why you want to see these events.

NASCAR (whatelse?) at Bristol (spring race)

ALMS at Sebring

MotoGP at Laguna Seca

Tour de Georgia { Even without Lance }
The February Tri State Race in Chicago
And of course the Nats in Chicago

I have been to Nascar and F-1 races and the Nats. The Chicago races are a must this year seeing that they are within driving distance and this could be a huge year for the USRA Nats. I have never seen a Pro Bicycle race live, so it is on my things to do before I am wearing Depends list.

You guys are reading my mind.

I always wanted to do Sebring, the Indy race at Elkhart Lake, and basically any 'nostalgia' event: I was leaning towards the drag racing nostalgia event in California every fall, I forget where it is, Bakersfield maybe ?
I'd also like the Reno Air Races, not sure if it is what it used to be back in the 70's, though (what is ?)

Any event where I can camp in the infield would be great......

Fredman, some of the lower class air races aren't real, they are staged. They'd get to many killed if they were.
