[QUOTE="FAVREFAN, post: 322628, member: 13078"] It's hilarious how many tracks Nascar races at that were built for/by open wheels entities.......Back in the C.A.R.T. years. Man did Nascar clean up. I may actually check out a part of the Texas race. I love that track. Anybody out there remember when the CART guys actually passed the human limit on G's at that track to actually perform? They were pulling over 5 g's. They were coming off qualifying sessions with vertigo and talking silly with vision problems as well. Some of them were supposedly saying, "Where are we?" Bryan Herta had to break the news to the media at a press conference and the race had to be cancelled. I think they were doing something like 250+ on the straight and would smash their brains going into the turn. Kenny Brack won the pole with a lap of 233.447 but when the track improved cars were doing upper 230's for laps in practice that morning with much higher straight speeds! That was a big negative that hurt the series. Things got worse from there. The cars were too fast that day! lol. Unrelated, they set the closed coarse record at Fontana too. 241.428mph!(Gil De Ferran) That's racing! [/QUOTE]
