Today’s iRacing Invitational race comes to us from Spade Racing’s home track of Dover International Speedway (aka Dover Downs). To fully embrace the Dover experience, here’s what you can do:
 |
| For the full Delaware experience, avoid paying sales tax, put plenty of chemicals in your drinking water, and eat some terrible pizza |
1.) Drive for an hour marveling the whole time at how twenty years ago there was nothing but traffic.
2.) Sit outside and crack open some local Delaware beers, such as Dogfish Head, Fordham, Wilmington Brew Works, or that terrible home-brew I tried to make a few years ago that smelled like apples and gave me a headache.
3.) Whilst sitting around waiting for the race to start, make sure to surround yourself with plenty of Canadians on vacation—six feet (or 1.83 meters) apart, of course.
4.) Feel free to park your car in the authentic Dover way—by having a bored 17-year-old give you the wrong directions. Bonus points if you manage to get your car stuck in a mud pit.
5.) Take a $100 bill.
5a.) Light it on fire.
5b.) You’ve just recreated the experience of gambling at the Dover Downs Casino.
6.) Find a hot metal bench to sit on while you watch the race. Oh, and make sure there’s a nuclear plant cooling tower visible in the distance.
