Ah good old Martinsville! You forgot to mention the hot dogs....
I got covered in beer when I was a kid at that track. We were sitting on the front stretch and about halfway into the race someone sitting behind us decided to throw a bottle of beer at Dale Earnhardt's car. Guy had great aim because he managed to hit the hood of the car. I can't recall if he got kicked out or even caught.
Always wondered if that made it on to TV. It was a spring race in the mid-90s, don't recall what year. We used to go every year because it was blacked out on local TV back then.
We started sitting in turn 2 after that, costs a little more but you don't have to deal with stuff going over your head
. Turn 3 and 4 look nice but I've never sat on that side of the track, honestly still a little pissed off that they tore down the old score board.
Back stretch has changed so much too....used to be the cheapest seats at the track. Concrete "step" seats like you see at small dirt tracks. I sat over there once and honestly hated it, but now that they've put proper seating there I kinda miss it.
That track really had an old school feel about it before they added all the extra seats.
