I did take execption to KB taking off the glasses and wiping his eyes - in homage to the DE jr. fans - I guess if you provoke the paying customers you have to take their grief.

Sorry Richard, Mark and I were a couple of people who actually got a chuckle out of him doing that. I think that boy can take all the grief they give him...I even think he kind of likes it...lol.


Jr fans are going way too far in blaming him for that wreck, wearing their Busch hater t-shirts and such. Stupid if you ask me (I know, no one did)

Still can't believe I'm sticking up for him

I really hate BUSCH, I'm a PABST man.

I thought the wiping eyes thing was funny too. I just feel that he should have let it go. It bothered me that the announcers and some of the drivers were suggesting that KB have security escort him out.

Going to the Raider games there was always the player who would make gestures to the fans when coming from the dressing room, if you were standing by the tunnel you might as well wear a helmet. The jokers from up above would start to throw trash - cups, empty bottles, batteries and god knows what else.

A DE jr fan at home isn't going to toss stuff at the screen-but what is stopping him from paying a few bucks to tour pit row and taking it out on KB in person? I remember the tennis gal that was stabbed a few years ago at a match? That was a weird situation. I love the fact that there are fans on PR and the drivers are accessible....But there is always one nut job in the crowd and the good fans suffer for his sins. For the most part SCS fans are pretty good and passionate. Passion and alcohol really are a bad mix......sometimes

In all the years of attending events there was only one time I felt threatened with my safety.....and the home team won.


CM,
See how the people that come to Cah Lee Fuh Nee Ah act? In the past few years I've cut back from my attending events for a few reasons. I don't have my BGFF-did I actually use that term just now???-to go with me and the idea that I have to be wary of the crowd -if I am attending with any females or kids, it takes the fun outta it for me.....

I attended an off-road race in Vegas and my GF and dad were almost part of a fight. I always tried for aisle seats-being tall I could stick my legs out onto the steps. After a few bathroom runs I ended up with the GF and dad near the aisle when a fight broke out. Two idiots bumped into each other, one spilled his beer and it was on.

I grabbed them both, slid them over and stood at the end seat. The fight started to move into our seats and I managed to put a hand on one guy and keep him from falling down. Eventually one of the idiots was body slammed on the seats right in front of us.

It really sucks when you have to think about an emergency plan when you to a sporting event. Before, you just had to worry about spending the extra 15 bucks for the sweat shirt instead of the t-shirt.
Today? i don't wanna think about it.

Pit crew competition tonight on SPEED!

Pit crew competition tonight on SPEED!

I set the DVR last night!!! (CSI Season Finale is on at the same time. Have to record both!)

[RICHARD]

I got a flyer in the mail from Mario Andretti and Jeff GOrdon.

They need 350 dollars from me.

The only thing I have to do is to drive down the AutoClub race track and drive one of their cars around the track.

I'm not a fan of either so I'll have to use the money for something else.

[Moesha]

I got one of those flyers too. It's in the trash right now.

This year the Nashville Speedway was allowing all season ticket holders the chance to drive their own personal vehicle around the track. I'd been a season ticket holder for the past few years but didn't renew this year. That might have been fun though.

At the Saugus Speedway, since closed and made into a swap meet, they used to host a segment -and I cannot remember the name for it - where fans could come out and race their vehicles to try and set the lap record. The prizes were something like a dinner at Luigi's, a subscription for the local news paper and six cans of motor oil....

It was a small 1/3 mile track where the barriers are pieces of steel plate backed with dirt.

One night a guy shows up with a BRAND FRICKING NEW Mustang. I don't think it was two weeks old, if that. I bet the ciggie lighter was still new, the ashtrays clean and the the rear seat still not broken in.

Into the wall it went....and the crowd went wild....I just wanted to know how he explained that to the insurance company!

Fan or not, if you get a chance to drive a car, DO IT!!!! It is an awesome experience!

Oh, I would love to......I want to do it in a truck, I know the Petty Experience has a truck ride....right now I can't afford the the gas!
