Yes it would be a totally different thing. But, its a public road that we can go drive on for free when ever we want.

You are right it is a public road. I you attempted to drive this road while it's open to the public like you would at this event you would likely hurt someone and/or end up with a big ticket. This is a legal event with proper insurance, hence the entrance fee.

the terrain down there is totally unique to anything over east. Most on here don't have a clue what it is like, and the video doesn't do justice
I have been to BIR and in the hills........ and i know which place i would have more fun on if you could do whatever you wanted balls to the walls
hopefully avoiding the trees, haha

I cant watch the video (govt bock). is it just curvy? or that mixed with hills, trees and cliffs.
i remember driving on the penna turnpike and that was a blast, if this compares i would go if i could.

Youi've never been to the black hills?

agreed, i havent been on this particular road, but having driven through the black hills, i must say that it is fucking awesome. BIR is boring as fuck, no elevation changes, no blind corners. I had a blast driving my envoy up/down there in 2nd gear at 4500rpm, i would like to go watch if anyone is going and im not working.
If youve watched tokyo drift, that pretty much sums it up -

Drag racing vs road/rally racingHow can you compare the two? it's worth the money for the trip just to go down and see the area if you haven't.
Im gonna go out on a limb here, and assume that they are taking about the road course at BIR, and not drag racing.....

You would not have to worry about other traffic, or the Police. One speeding ticket when screwing around like that would cost way more then the $400 entry fee.

but your a dumbass with no decent cars to drive on it, and wouldnt ever commit to going there in the first place, so shut upSorry I dont have the luxury of being able to buy parts to finish my car... I'm more worried about having a roof over my head and if i'm gonna be able to eat or not... And yes I would go there... but most likely not for a sanctioned event, I'd drive it at a different time and save the $400 for something more useful....
