dear god do not do this

This person is incorrect. 100% get the full effect without hearing protection for a lap or two - you won't regret it.

... one time exposure can cause hearing damage and not everyone is physiologically the same...

This is valid point.

I've been attending races of all types for 30+ years - since I was a kid - and I never wore hearing protection until ~ten years ago. The same goes for concerts - mostly heavy metal - and I'm one of the lucky ones. I don't have tinnitus and my hearing is still above normal, so I guess I've been blessed.

Regardless of my luck, as I've gotten older, I would recommend hearing protection for anyone at a race or concert. You don't want to gently caress with your hearing.

But, man, that first full green lap is unlike anything you'd think it'd be. Obviously, the choice is yours.

Do it! :D

what level of dB protection yall recommend? 25dB ok?

I used the basic NRR 32 earplugs that your roll up before putting them in your ear. They worked very well for me when I used them (without headphones) while sitting in the front row out of turn four at Dover.

And FYI: You should be able to buy hearing protection at the track.

Lol at Paul Tracey.... I haven't seen the end of the srx races from Thursday but homie aint racing there anymore according to recent news.

My first thought was "why was this mess invited to this series" when I saw PT was racing in the SRX series a few weeks ago.

It's pretty much the same here.

Dale Jr. Download. There are like 416 Dirty Mo Media podcasts at this point, but this is the flagship. Dale is the quintessential NASCAR enthusiast and his interviews with personalities are great, even though the podcast itself has become a 3-4 day a week monster.

Seconding this. If you want to know anything past or current about NASCAR, Junior's podcast is the one to listen to. He also has a YouTube channel that is just as good. Junior is one of the most important figures currently in the sport, and arguably of all time.

Welcome to NASCAR.

That last lap was loving crazy! What a finish.

Jeb Burton hit the inside wall a ton there at the end.

The final four are Allgaier, Sam Mayer, John Hunter Nemechek and Cole Custer.

Great championship winner!

If Truex retires, I'm going with Blaney, Chastain, and Buescher. Done are the days of me cheering for just one guy.

There's going to be A LOT of pissed NASCAR fans who don't have prime and will refuse to buy it (I know quite a few people that fall into that category).
