I've worked Cup and Indy Car races. The deadline media centers are usually two story buildings right behind pit row. The only way to see the racing from there is to watch it on TV inside, or go up to the roof. I watched from the roofs....spun around in a circle for 3 hours...got very dizzy and real bored...
Drag racing is two go down the track and one comes back. If there has to be 4 wide drag racing, I'm glad it is only once a year.
