It was a great race. I think the new cars are going to provide for some great racing this season. While it seems the general consensus amongst the drivers is that they are tougher to drive they definitely seem to be far more forgiving. There were a LOT of bumps today that should have caused 'The Big One'.
I was extremely impressed by the entire pre-show. It seemed a really fitting way of celebrating 50 years.
I'm still jealous as hell that you got to go though!
The two tracks I'd like to visit soon (as in next couple/few years) are Daytona (duh!) and Kansas.
