Bristol is a def number 1 for me and have been to Dega a few times


The tv screen perspective is very misleading. I've only been to Dega, Darlington, and Bristol. But from personal experience, the turns at Bristol are MUCH steeper than it looks like on tv. You can lay down flat on your back at Bristol and you won't be very far from standing straight up on level ground. During Christmas season, BMS is always lit up and decorated with millions of Christmas lights. You can drive your family car around the track and that's when you realize how steep those turns really are. It's a weird feeling to be in those turns in your family car and feel like you're gonna turn over. I just went half way up in the turns. Grandkids were scared to death, screaming, hollerin, and holdin on to anything they could grab just to keep from slidin over to the other side.

when i was in high school my friends dad owned BMS before he sold the track to Smith, we would take his moms mercedes around the track and let go of the steering wheel and it would go through the turns with no hands. If you ever go Camp skip the hotel.

When I went we were able to go in the track and it is steep like you said. You really couldn't even walk up the track without laying forward.
