Cup race in Iowa

[smooth_358]

Anyone else make it down to Iowa for the first cup race hosted there? Outside of the fanwalk being unorganized and seemed like nobody knew what was going on, I had a pretty good time. went all three days, kids were about done with it after day two.

Sweet! I bet it was fun!

I've been a huge NASCAR fan since back in the early '60s, when all we got to see were a few highlight clips from the Daytona 500 on Wide World of Sports. Watched the famous '79 Daytona 500 in its entirety with a couple of close hotrodder buddies from my high-school days. We were snowed-in at their place in Perley MN during the big blizzard of '79, along with a couple other car-guy friends. I've watched nearly every televised Cup race since then. Been to the NHRA Nats @ BIR quite a few times, but none of my racing fan buddies ever wanted to make the trip to a NASCAR race. Now, all but one of 'em has passed on. The two of us have been kinda discussing going to the Iowa Cup race next year (assuming there is one). But damn, you gotta buy tickets early! I heard that this race sold out within a few hours after it was announced!

Did you buy your tickets back when it was announced, or did you get 'em from a scalper later on?

i did the presale for tickets, so they notify you the day you can buy them. my wife's cousin also did the same thing, we ended up sitting in the same section even. I think he even had a person call him that day to figure out what he wanted
