No smoking at Bristol???

I remember going to the April race at Bristol in 2002 with my dad. One of the best memories I had with him. Hadn't started smoking yet, but looks like I'll never get the chance to have a nice stogie at that race track.
Sad day.

Re: No smoking at Bristol???

I don't have any use for NASCAR anymore. Not since they gave up Rockingham, and Wilkesboro tracks. The damn thing was started here in NC, and they have grown to big, commercial, and greedy. I used to go to races down at Rockingham, grew up 30 minutes from there. Whats this about a free country again.....

I mean yeah, it was a smaller track and all. But still, you don't abandon what made you. A wise man once said, "A tree that forgets it's roots is destined to fall" I think the drag strip down there is still in use, but as far as I know, the "Rock" is just sitting there wasting away.

Not surprising.

As for my feelings on nascar, when you cut a plant off at the roots, it will slowly die. That is what nascar has done.

Re: No smoking at Bristol???

Sounds like you guys should be thankful they held out this long. I cant think of any other sporting venue that permitted fans to smoke in the past 10 years.

Its really not much different than a football/baseball stadium.

Look at the tv ratings and attendance. Change, for the better, is a good thing but that is not what they have done.

They can also change without alienating the people that made them but that is exactly what they have done.

Re: No smoking at Bristol???

I hate that smoking is allowed at race tracks, because all people smoke there are cigarettes.

That's when you light up a stogie and let all those cigarette smokers start to complain about the cigar smoke
