Bristol
ranks as one

favorite
tracks It's
like racing
the old
tracks back

Marin to
name a
couple.
Close, tight
racin, I
love
it",

with a
multi-car-team,
and it
helps."

fast and
intense. It
can be a lot
of fun, if

handling
right, if
its not,
you’re
going to get
lapped
quick, and
be in for a
very long
day.”
