Now you're talking.
No signs until 100 yds to on ramp.
That reminded me. I was going to Roswell to visit some friends on a weekend night and on 285 noticed a string of police lights pulling out just past 85. They fanned out and essential stopped all traffic to a slow roll. They also had cops blocking on ramps....it was a pretty big production. I was in about the 3rd row. Not quite poll but still pretty good.
We slowly rolled a few miles until we saw what the deal was. They had pulled several bucket trucks out and we're painting or repairing a bridge/sign that required no traffic. They had us going about 7 mph for what felt like an hour. They were wrapping up as we approached and the trucks pulled off and the cop cars pulled over....leaving a wide open 285 in front of us.
I've never raced NASCAR but that was as close to a rolling start at Daytona as I'll ever see. Those in the front of that group will always remember that....I promise you ...
