In 2000 the WoO turned Bristol Motor Speedway into Bristol Dirt Track speedway. It was a 1 off exercise. The place was just too fast, with speeds in excess of 170MPH........273 plus KPH.
How awesome does this place look as a dirt track. The sprintcars were so much faster than the NASCARS and fearing at those speeds a car could clear the fence, the spectators were kept well away from the track.The banking was so steep, the car on the outside is 2 cars higher than the car on the pole line......I've never seen any video of the show..must be amazing.

I like the way how far back the spectators are.

I saw some video back when!Scarey and no wonder it got dropped from the schedule.Only a matter of time before the first fatallity if they had stayed as sprintcars are not built for impact at that sort of speed.
