From the Fence
If you want to see the speed of the cars up close, be sure to take a look at the track from the fence at the bottom of the grandstands during practice. If you look at the cars straight on, all you will see is a colourful blur, so it is wise to either watch them coming toward you or as they are going away. But be warned, from this position, you will be standing in the great wind made as the cars go by, and with this wind comes the blowing rubber off of the tires. When you return to your seat, you more then likely will be covered in streaks of black.
