Keselowski's a jackass, but Harvick did pull a punk ass move last year by sneaking up behind Keselowski, shoving him in the back towards Gordon, then slithering away....93henfan wrote:Nothing wrong with that.

Ivytalk ushered in section 209, turn 2. Might as well name it the Jimmy Johnson Oval.93henfan wrote:The positive of the seat reduction is that the track looked more full than the past couple of years. I'd guess 60k or so today just eyeballing it. The days of 140k are long gone at Dover.
That shit right there looks even worse than the 20,000 empty seats that were there before.93henfan wrote:Dude. Where's my stands?
The ex coont was out that way somewhere with my youngest son. Our family block of season tix was completely full and he was begging her to go so she got free tix through a friend. They made it through 300 laps. He wouldnt let her leave any earlier.Ivytalk wrote:Ivytalk ushered in section 209, turn 2.

When was the last time you sat in the open stands for 5 hours in the sun?DSUrocks07 wrote:That **** right there looks even worse than the 20,000 empty seats that were there before.93henfan wrote:Dude. Where's my stands?
If DD was smart, they would extend the main building part around turn 3 and add enclosed grandstands, club boxes and restaurants.
Its a new age for NASCAR, the days of sitting in open stands for 5 hours in the sun are long gone.
What turn 2? Besides the lower turn 3 stands that were removed as shown in 93's pic the turn 2 seats were gone...Ivytalk wrote:Ivytalk ushered in section 209, turn 2.

Section 204 is the last remaining section in the lower stands. If you want to get technical, section 209 is probably the gateway to turn 2. But I call it turn 2.BDKJMU wrote:What turn 2?

I sat in upper 210 last Sept, almost midpoint turns 2 & 3. Was in the Earnhardt Grandstands, section 238 yesterday. Looks like they took out Turn 2 sections 186-201 which were lower sections only and 202-203, which were upper & lower. If Turn 2 goes to section 209 I guess you could say close to 2/3 of the Turn 2 seats are gone. As far as Turn 3 it looks like about 15 of about 20 lower sections were removed as evidenced by 93's pic.

Fewer drunks this time. More heat-related issues, and old people who couldn't climb up to row 30.

Looks like a cool track to watch a race at- 7/8 mile, similar to Richmond. Wiki says 30k capacity/25k permanent. Still would have to about double that. And looking at the 6 tracks west of the Mississippi that currently have a Sprint race, they're all in/near a major metro area with a large airport.clenz wrote:Pretty soon iowa won't need to add very many seats to get a sprint race.
Still needs a ton of infrastructure around it though
Damn, I didn't know they were going to take it down to 85k..93henfan wrote:Also, I love how the scale of that seating chart is accurate enough to see the history of expansion at the track. When I first started attending as a preschooler in the mid 70s, the original stands (now called the Petty grandstand) seated 22,000. In the early 80s, they added the first half of what is now called the Earnhardt grandstand. A couple of years later what is now called the Allison grandstand. Then the Turn 1 media center. Then the rest of the Earnhardt grandstand to fill the gap to the old media center. Then later, I think it was early 90s, they went into overdrive, expanding every offseason. First the lower bowl in the turns, the the upper bowl. They also added 14 additional rows to the Petty grandstand. We were always the top row, start finish line which was row 32. After the expansion we became row 46. They also built all new press boxes and moved them up in relation to our row. Back in the day, when we stood up for restarts we actually blocked the people in the pressbox. They'd pound on the glass and we'd flip them off.
I know, cool story bro. But I love talking about Dover and NASCAR.
