He's got more money and a hotter wife than you have but go ahead and keep putting people down.

When exactly did I put him down? I have no idea who in the hell he is. There are plenty of hillbilly exploitation shows (Cajun Pawn Stars, Honey Boo Boo, Swamp People, etc) that solely exist so that people can laugh at their idiot hijinks and butchering of the English language so I figured he must be part of one of those shows.

And what's with your obsession with my posts? It's very odd.

As far as his money and wife? Good for him. If he's found a away to be successful and snag a hot wife in the process, I commend him. Hopefully he invests wisely and his wife stays loyal.
 
Eldora Truck and camping tickets arrived today.

Seriously, I know that you are not new to attending one of these events. There are ways around these things.

You buy a chair with hollow legs and fill them with beer.

LOL@mike --- no chairs with arms in the grandstands. That would be a mess trying to put a lawn chair in the stands.
No alcohol --- maybe Tony wants people to actually be sober enough to see the race. :D
 
Eldora has a license to sell alcohol. They simply don't allow it to be brought in through the gate from outside. It's really not too hard to understand. It is the same @ my local track. You have to purchase your beer at the track.
 
I don't know where he got them but my buddy had vinyl sleeves that slid over a beer can, Orange Crush, Hires root beer, Coke, Pepsi etc. Wonderful invention!
 
Gatorade bottles filled with a High Quality beer or a mixed concoction will normally breeze right past security if in a soft-sided cooler with other "treats".

Or, you can fill water bottles with light rum or vodka and just buy your mixer of choice at the concession stand!

Yes, I have done this a few times... :)
 
Very entertaining DP. Thank you very much.

I would pay big money to goto a race where there is dirt to pavement.

I think that you just hit it. That is exactly what our current television broadcasts are missing. We should go back to the 'overly dramatic music' and a single narrator method. That way we can bring back the great racing of years gone by.

If you look closely @ the 15:23 mark you can see Johali & I taking in the race down the paved portion of the track. Just think, we felt so secure behind the elaborate fencing material that they used back then. Boy, we've come a long way.

Awe man, why did you have to get political and ruin the fun?;)
 
Just doing a little jumping back to some old YouTube NASCAR video's today. Here's one for ya. While it's interesting from the start IMO, go to the 3:25 mark for a Tim Richmond flashback.

Very cool video to watch if you have a half hour.

My dad took me to one in I believe 1955 when I was eleven years old. Dont remember much, we had a 1954 ford crown victoria two tone peach and ivory. He parked it on the beach side with a 2' sand dune between us and the race. We sat on the top with our feet on the hood and had a ball. Fireball Roberts was my hero and I believe he won but was disqualified for rods or something being a couple a thousandths too long. Damn I'm old.

Yeah I remember that DP, no BL but Schlitz, falstaff and PBR aplenty, had to have a church key though, no pop tops. :D

It took me awhile to get past the first 8 seconds (good luck, Greg), but that is a sad story indeed.

All I remember is the right side of my face getting sandblasted as they turned their laps or was that me getting blasted drinking Bud Lights? Whatever the case, damn that was a great race. ;)
