Чего-то я не очень понял насчёт Дарлингтона. Его на 100% убрают из календаря кубка?

Сообщение от Палыч

Чего-то я не очень понял насчёт Дарлингтона. Его на 100% убрают из календаря кубка?

Я тоже с интересом прочёл статью про самый старый 500-мильный трэк.
Всё как раз наоборот. Это
Статья названа "Большая потеря - ещё б0льшие достижения".
Вот цитата:
Everybody remembers what happened at North Carolina Speedway, which lost one race and then was gone completely even though its facilities were vastly superior to those at some surviving racetracks. That's one example of the effects of schedule realignment. Darlington is another.

Трэк "Северная Каролина" потерял сначала 1 из 2 гонок - а зетем вообще пропал из календаря Кубка. Дарлингтон - это совсем другая история.
Благодаря ISC (International Speedway Corp.) нашлись деньги на модернизацию.
Раньше 10 лет подряд не все биледты были проданы. Сейчас уже 3 года подряд все билеты продаются - нет свободных мест. И будет 4 раз !

Хотя жаль что знаменитый "День Труда" был заменен на "День Матери" ...

Для тех кто хочет понять разницу во времени между США и Москвой.
Вот пример разписания гонки в Техасе + Мировое время (США - Нью-Йорк)
http://www.race2win.net/wc/08/race/tms/ws.html
http://www.time.org/
Проще говоря когда в Москве 10 утра - в Нью-Йорке 02 ночи. Разница = 8.
Но в марте + октябре/ноябре возможна другая разница = будъте внимательны.
Конкретные даты перевода времени часов указаны внизу страницы TIME.ORG
