#1: Why COUNTER-clockwise?
Posted on 2006-07-23 23:19:14 by Steve Cutchen
So why does Nass Core run all their roundish track races
counter-clockwise?
They ought to go either... and set it by coin-flip just before the
race.
Not only the cars, but the pit crews would have to adapt.

Have half the cars go one way and half go the other.
Then I might actually watch it.

I would venture a guess that affects of centrifugal force on the
driver, who sits on the left, would be less (do they go clockwise in
UK?).
If true, it means NASCAR'Ses are wusses for taking the easy way.

Dumnass. Horse races go counterclockwise; track meets go counterclockwise.

Maybe, maybe not! The driver's physical distance, and speed, on a turn,
would be less. Contrarily, the radius of the path would also be less. No?

that's as close to the reason as far as historians are
concerned........most of the first automobile races were held on
horse tracks.........

It has to do with the effects of centrifugal force on the heart--works
out better going CCW.
