Today we set off on our 3-4 week adventure. This trip is going to include the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.
After we got to the campground, (we will be staying two nights here) we went to Talladega Super Speedway. Talladega is 2.6 miles long; with a 4000 foot backstretch. After wasting a few minutes, we went on our track tour.
Unlike Daytona Super Speedway you couldn’t go on the track because of the 33° banking, in turns 1, 2, 3, and 4. (Daytona’s is 31° banking). Overall I thought the Daytona track tour was better than Talladega’s.
Around five years ago Rusty Wallace did a test at Talladega without a restrictor plate. Without it he reached speeds of 235 miles an hour. However with it you will only reach speeds of around 190 miles a hour.
Later after our tour was done we went and looked at the museum. There are over 100 motor vehicles in three different buildings. They even had separate section for Dale Earnhardt Sr.
After finishing up with the museum; we went to the gift shop. After that we went back to the motorhome to relax for the rest of the day.
