Battle of Bristol 2

[82_VOL_83]

I'd rather have a Battle of Bahamas, Bermuda, or Belize

My tickets are on order....

 

[82_VOL_83]

They’re battling for Bristol because it’s at BMS

Then they can keep it. BMS is a money loser right now.

 

[82_VOL_83]

i live near the speedway. we wont go. waste of time and money.

well worth drive and price to go to Neyland

Is that the South Holston or Watauga in your avi?

 

[82_VOL_83]

We should play Alabama at Ardmore.

LOL, Google Maps usage went up 1000X after this post!

Light bulb moment...so sounds like Bristol is only track where game can be played to give reasonable spectator views.

Martinsville’s infield would have to take on an extensively greater overhaul than Bristol did but isn’t impossible, other than being a weird location. Would be the best hot dogs in college football though. Richmond is .75 miles, so definitely some seats are out of the question. There’s really no other usable tracks unless you just build a stadium in the infield.

I assumed ge was joking. You would be a mile away at some grandstands at big tracks. Even darlington. Ive been there a couple times. Its still a small track but would ve impossible to see from most places.
Bms is very unique.
I was lucky enough to attend.

Most people have never been to a race track. So many have never paid much attention Auto racing at all. Monster truck rallies have taken a bite out of that.

I grew up 30 minutes from 2 dirt tracks. The only time I went, we had a blast.

It's a real expensive hobby to participate in, even more expensive to be competitive.

Are you implying BMS is losing money?

All I keep reading here is everybody had fun tailgating but the view sucked. I think this was a ‘neat’ thing to do once but it’s done

Rumor is Clemson

Good. I hope so.

I've been wanting a rematch since that '04 Peach Bowl.

 

[Hyperion]

It only makes sense if it's UT and VaTech. Anyone else should be a home and home.

If it is us and Clemson make a couple years down the road. We need time.

Be great if there was a race during the game

 

[VOLNPA]

It'd be a good spot for Ohio State or Penn State to play Clemson or Bama. It's a cool idea, but not many people would go multiple times. Since the stadium and town now have the experience, just incorporate different fan bases.

Could set up a regular big10 v SEC matchup.

 

[Iam4utalways]

Did they have the NC car at the 1st one?

For Bruton probably. If you had to buy it you would be in at least $100MM plus. I think it would be tough to make a profit.

 

[knoxvol16]

Went the first time and enjoyed the experience.

Passing if they (attempt to) do it again.

BMS made around $17million in 16. Sales figures were down for the spring of 17, but the overall revenue was still up. You’re wrong

My seats were on pit road, so I vote no to this!

Not only have a raise but also have a couple of wrestling matches in the end zone to cage matches during the game
