Where is a good place to camp at Daytona 500?
I've never been, but I'm looking too. I found this place online:
http://www.speedweekscampground.com
looks like about what I had in Talladega, parking spot, fire pit and pay showers. 1 mile from the track, so park it, drink 'em down, and walk around. Anybody with some Daytona camping experience?
I've been to Speed Weeks Campground the last two year's, it's a good place to
camp & party. The only problem, if it rains it's worst than Talladega, it's a -------- mess. It's a lot like campground C- West at Dega. but it has places to buy food,
nascar stuff ect.
Who finished the Indy 500 without a pit stop?
NONE. The Indy 500 is a 200 lap race with the average fuel stint in that race being 30 laps or more. Several pit stops are required. In the early days of the race, before fuel tanks were standardized, you could put as big a tank in your car as you wanted. And four drivers put enough of a tank in the car to run all 200 laps: Dave Evans in 1931, Cliff Bergere in 1941, and Jimmy Jackson and Johnny Mantz in 1949.

Should you use leaded or unleaded gas in a 1972 Triumph motorcycle daytona 500?
Check with the dealership or a classic motorcycle specialist but I seem to recall the old lady had hardened valve seats anyway and the timing just needed a tweak. If you are worried, there is an inexpensive "magic bullet" on the market that just drops into the tank and is good for thousands and thousands of miles
