Chapter 492: Nazca
After lunch, Kim Do-jun picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and immediately asked.
"Where are we going later? Didn't the director say he wanted to take me to see the racing culture in the United States? ”
Anderson and Jason Statham smiled at each other and immediately replied.
"Don't worry, just go later, there's a NASCAR race at the Sports Park Circuit in upstate New York in the afternoon, and you have to watch those races to know why Americans are so crazy about the sport of motorsports."
As soon as you come to the United States, you will find Nazca everywhere.
NASCAR is the American sports car race that ushered in a revolutionary era for motorsports.
The predecessor of NASCAR, mainly originated in the southern United States, when moonshiners in order to avoid federal tax inspections, so often drove speeding cars on country roads, and later the police became more and more strict, moonshiners had to raise the car Mary, modify the car structure, can be faster speed, easier to get rid of the federal police.
Today, NASCAR is a global icon, with more than 2,000 races organized annually at more than 100 circuits across the country, and more than 50,000 members including some of the world's best drivers, mechanics and team owners.
More than 150 million viewers watch the games every year on TV or in person.
In the United States, Nazca is already comparable to rugby and has an irreplaceable status.
NASCAR never takes the elite route, in order to ensure the fairness of the game, reasonable control of members. Strict requirements have been made for the contestants. And a strict inspection system has been established.
From the contestant's car, to himself, from weight, to the horsepower of the car. There are strict requirements.
With more than 49 cars, anyone can be the champion.
The process of the race is full of endless overtaking shots, which is very exciting, and collisions, overtaking, crashing, and dying often happen in NASCAR races.
Hence the name "Bloody Violence, Racing to Hell".
In this way, in the eyes of Americans, the world's popular F1 motorsport. It's far from being compared to this kind of real master's competition.
A Coke, a burger or a hot dog, sit in the stands and enjoy the most exciting and exciting game, so why not?
Compared to F1's slow-moving overtaking culture, NASCAR has long been at the forefront of motorsports.
"Nazca?"
Kim Do-jun suddenly raised his head and asked.
As early as when he was studying in the United States, he knew about this sport, but Kim Do-joon didn't know how to drive at that time. Therefore, I usually spend more time in basketball and baseball, and I don't pay much attention to it.
"How do you know?"
Director Anderson replied with a slight smile.
"Of course. I've known about this competition before, but I've never been to see it live, and suddenly saying this really piqued my curiosity! ”
As soon as they said go, Kim Do-joon and Han Sung-ho got into director Anderson's car, while Jason Statham was led by his agent and drove towards the sports park track.
Originally, I was worried that I didn't have a ticket, so I couldn't get in, and I didn't have to worry about ticket revenue when I played in a metropolis like New York, but basically as soon as the news came out, it was immediately sold out.
This sport is bloody, restless, exciting and furious from the bones, as if all people go to watch the game, just to seek excitement and blood boiling.
Director Anderson waved his hand and said indifferently, in such a game, the seats of the VIPs had already been arranged, and they were waiting for a few of them to pass.
Kim Do-jun suddenly found that he was dressed a little more formally today, and he was out of place with the audience who came to watch the game, everyone was in T-shirts and jeans, looking relaxed and casual, but he was a little too much.
There was no way, it was impossible to go back and change clothes, so I could only follow Director Anderson inside.
Kim Do-joon was shocked when he arrived at the scene, and the entire outside was full of cars, including racing cars, sports cars, and ordinary cars.
Some people directly open the front cover of the car, revealing the effect of their own modification, and discuss it with car lovers from time to time.
Sure enough, it is still useful to hold the title of a well-known Hollywood director, it seems that everyone knows Director Anderson and Jason Statham, and everywhere they go, they either applaud warmly, or put their hands in their mouths and whistle.
There are young girls who take the initiative to come over to hug, sign autographs, and seek opportunities to take photos.
Jin Daojun looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, his face was delicious, and sure enough, his fame was still not loud enough, and no one knew him at all, let alone took the initiative to come over.
I found a random one, and as soon as I sat down, Jason Statham walked over and asked with a smile.
"Do you want to play a game? Take a gamble and see your luck, big or small! ”
Come to the racing track, don't gamble, how to get up to watch the audience, the bookmaker for each more than 40 cars, have carried out odds design, the corresponding handicap, convenient for every audience to come to the scene and the audience in front of the TV to bet.
Jin Daojun looked at the bottom of the field with some indifference, more than forty cars had been prepared and parked below, but how to bet, how to bet, he didn't even know his name, he didn't even know who was who, how to play.
The tens of thousands of spectators at the scene made a noisy and deafening sound, coupled with the sound of the engine roaring from time to time.
Kim Do-jun felt that his adrenal hormones were secreting rapidly, and even his heartbeat was much faster than usual.
“ok! Do you have anything to recommend, I refer to the reference, after all, I am not very familiar with it! ”
Jason Statham, nodded after listening, also sat down, pointed to the car in front and said.
"Jeff Gordon, a four-time NASCAR champion, has not won a single race so far, but his strength should not be underestimated, despite the unsatisfactory results, his income is not less, 30 million US dollars, 25 million US dollars more than the new F1 world champion Hamilton, this is still his guaranteed income!"
For these racers, the audience who likes them, almost like a few treasures, knows very well and then points to the car next to him, adding.
"Johnson, the '07 NASCAR champion, just met with President Bush at the White House in Washington in February, and is also the favorite to win the championship this year, and has won several races!"
While Jason Statham was talking, Kim Do-jun took a serious note, to be honest, he had no desire to gamble at all for this kind of event.
First of all, it is uncontrollable, it is too prone to accidents, and it is also easy to die.
The price of betting on death is so high that even Kim Do-joon can't stand it.
Moreover, Kim Do-jun's current identity does not need to obtain benefits through these at all, he can only accompany them to gamble and have fun.
In the end, Kim Do-jun still bought $1,000 and chose a low-ranking player.
"Could it be that Kim Do-joon knows these players well? So why are you so confident that you don't have any time to think about it? ”
Kim Do-jun lifted his glasses and looked at the audience, and sure enough, everyone was waving scarves, balloons, streamers, and all kinds of souvenirs and peripheral products.
These drivers have their own fans, and the team wraps the drivers, which is a lot of other revenue in addition to TV broadcasts, ticket revenue, and more.
Han Chenghao also looked at the drivers in the audience with some excitement, the race was about to start, and even he couldn't suppress his excitement, and kept gearing up, looking eager to try.
And Kim Do-joon is more like a fan, constantly holding the camera in his hand and taking photos casually, which will become his future memories.
If you can't hold on to your memories, use your camera to keep them and don't wait until you regret it later, only to find out that it's too late.
Youth is like time, like an arrow, in the blink of an eye, it sneaks past you, and when you want to catch it, you can find yourself like a moon in water, no matter how hard you try, there is no way. (To be continued......)
