    If the Charlotte Motor Speedway increased their banking angle from 24 to 31 degrees, the cars could do the turn at 200 mph.

        @neiltyson at the same 24 degree banking how much of a radius increase would be required to maintain 200 mph?

        @neiltyson wrong. Increase downforce and the cars would go faster. See Indy Cars.

        @neiltyson Only reason to watch any car race is to see a wreck, maybe a fire. Don't care about a redneck slobbering milk at finish line.
