5.0 out of 5 stars On The Road with NASCAR: 2001 Road Atlas, June 6, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: On the Road with NASCAR : 2001 Road Atlas (Paperback)
I am 55 years old and I travel to at least 5 NASCAR races per year. I purchased this atlas because I can find the tracks much easier and and I use the seating diagrams of the tracks to order tickets. I will be ordering the 2002 atlas when it comes out so I can get the 2002 racing information.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, poor execution, May 22, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: On the Road with NASCAR : 2001 Road Atlas (Paperback)
The idea of having a NASCAR atlas to help people find race tracks along with seating diagrams of race tracks is a good idea. There've been sports atlases in the past designed to help people find stadiums.

However, this atlas suffers from a few problems. First, the instructions for finding the tracks aren't very good. Usually there'll be a regional cut-out with an arrow pointing out an unmarked spot in a general ara. If the maps can't be specific then text instructions would be helpful. They could cut and paste from the text instructions in the 2001 Nascar press guide.

Secondly, this is by far the poorest atlas of its format on the market. Any other large format road atlas -- National Geographic, American Map Corporation, and Rand McNally are all signficantly superior. While you can say a state map is a state map, it's hard to know what counts as a major attraction. In this atlas, you can't find the Hoover Dam, because it's nonexistent.

It's almost impossible to find anything from the metropolitan maps. No attention's been paid to what areas most people would want to see within a downtown area. The map of Honolulu is ridiculous -- it's features lots of unidentified lines going all over the place -- if a line's not identified it shouldn't be included. There are some very basic tenets of maps that the creators of this atlas haven't taken into consideration.

If NASCAR wants to continue with this, they would be better off trying to partner with an atlas company that has a better product. This atlas by The Lawrence Group is in need of such a major overhaul/makeover that I'd be astounded if many people gave the 2002 version a second chance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift idea for guys., February 11, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: On the Road with NASCAR : 2001 Road Atlas (Paperback)
The track maps are fun to check out - gives you a better idea of where the track is located in each race city. And the NASCAR trivia kept us busy for a long car ride. We'll also take advantage of the state parks website listings.
